Abstract
Titanium alloy orthopedic implants produced by 3D printing combine the dual advantages of having a complex structure that cannot be manufactured by traditional techniques and the excellent physical and chemical properties of titanium and its alloys; they have been widely used in the field of orthopedics in recent years. The inherent porous structure of 3D-printed implants and the original modification processes for titanium alloys provide conditions for the functionalization of implants. To meet the needs of orthopedic surgeons and patients, functionalized implants with long-term stability and anti-infection or anti-tumor properties have been developed. The various methods of functionalization deserve to be summarized, compared and analyzed. Therefore, in this review, we will collect and discuss existing knowledge on the functionalization of 3D-printed titanium alloy orthopedic implants.Funding Information
