Effect of Photofunctionalization on Ti6Al4V Screw Stability Placed in Segmental Bone Defects in Rat Femurs

The results of the present study have demonstrated the efficacy of photofunctionalization on enhancing the survival and stability of Ti6Al4V screws under a loaded condition in the reconstruction of segmental defects. This was associated with increased bioactivity and bone formation around the photofunctionalized Ti6Al4V material.
