Abstract

The significance of micrometer‐sized strut porosity in promoting bone ingrowth into porous hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds has only recently been noted. In this study, silicon‐substituted HA (0.8 wt % Si‐HA) with approximately 8.5% of the total porosity present as microporosity within the struts of the implant was prepared for high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR‐TEM) via both ultramicrotomy and focused ion beam milling. Between the struts of the porous Si‐HA, pores with varying shapes and sizes (1–10 μm in diameter) were characterized. Within the struts, the Si‐HA contained features such as grain boundaries and triple‐junction grain boundaries. Bone ingrowth and dissolution from a Si‐HA implant were studied using HR‐TEM after 6 weeks in vivo. Minor local dissolution occurred within several pores within the struts. Organized, mineralized collagen fibrils had grown into the strut porosity at the interface between the porous Si‐HA implant and the surface of the surrounding bone. In comparison, deeper within the implant, disorganized and poorly mineralized fibers were observed within the strut porosity. These findings provide valuable insight into the development of bone around porous Si‐HA implants. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2006

## Abstract The preparation of porous biomaterials for bone substitution is an important clinical issue in current biomedical technology because the ingrowth of bone can only occur if a suitable number of sufficiently large pores is available. Different procedures are compared here: The combined ch
