Biodegradable porous iron versus titanium interference screws in porcine ACL reconstruction model: a one-year observational study

Abstract This study assessed osteointegration and degradation of 3D-printed porous pure iron (Fe) versus titanium (Ti) interference screws in porcine anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction over 12 months. Twelve pigs were assigned to Fe (experimental) or Ti (control) groups and euthanized a...
