Mechanical strength and its long-term stability of bioceramic scaffolds is still a problem to treat the osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Considering the long-term stability of diopside (DIO) ceramic but poor mechanical strength, we developed the DIO-based porous bioceramic composites via dilute magnesium substituted wollastonite reinforcing and three-dimensional (3D) printing. The experimental results showed that the secondary phase (i.e. 10% magnesium substituting calcium silicate; CSM10) could readily improve the sintering property of the bioceramic composites (DIO/CSM10-x, x = 0–30) with increasing the CSM10 content from 0% to 30%, and the presence of the CSM10 also improved the biomimetic apatite mineralization ability in the pore struts of the scaffolds. Furthermore, the flexible strength (12.5–30 MPa) and compressive strength (14–37 MPa) of the 3D printed porous bioceramics remarkably increased with increasing CSM10 content, and the compressive strength of DIO/CSM10-30 showed a limited decay (from 37 MPa to 29 MPa) in the Tris buffer solution for a long time stage (8 weeks). These findings suggest that the new CSM10-reinforced diopside porous constructs possess excellent mechanical properties and can potentially be used to the clinic, especially for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head work as a bioceramic rod. |
