Abstract

Porous degradable metallic biomaterials are attracting considerable attention as promising bone implant materials. Recently, the interest in developing new biomaterials with enhanced performance stimulates the widespread development of fabricating techniques for porous metals. In this work, the recent progress and novel trends on preparation methods of metallic foams for biomedicine were systematically reviewed. The common synthesis methods for porous Mg, Fe, Zn, and their alloys intended for orthopedic applications are comprehensively discussed and compared. The advantages and disadvantages of relevant manufacturing strategies are evaluated. While the modern techniques enable fabrication of complex porous structures and customized shapes, the cost-effective and easy controllable approach are major benefits of traditional methods. Main structural characteristics and properties of biomaterials fabricated using different routes are also presented. Furthermore, the future research directions and current challenges are mentioned. The ambition of this review article is to provide useful guidelines for researchers to choose suitable manufacturing technique to prepare materials with desired structural topology and mechanical, and degradation properties.
