Porous titanium fabricated by the resin-impregnated titanium substitute technique has good mechanical strength and osteoconduction. The alkali treatment of the titanium surface creates a bioactive surface. Alkali-treated porous titanium is expected to accelerate bone formation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bone reconstruction ability of alkali-treated porous titanium. Porous titanium (85% porosity) was treated with an alkali solution (5 N NaOH, 24 h). To assess material properties, we analyzed the surface structure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical strength testing. To assess bioactivity, each sample was soaked in a simulated body fluid (Hank's solution) for 7 days. Surface observations, weight change ratio measurement (after/before being soaked in Hank's solution) and surface elemental analysis were performed. We also designed an in vivo study with rabbit femurs. After 2 and 3 weeks of implantation, histological observations and histomorphometric bone formation ratio analysis were performed. All data were statistically analyzed using a Student's t-test (P < 0.05) (this study was approved by the Hiroshima University animal experiment ethics committee: A11-5-5). Non-treated porous titanium (control) appeared to have a smooth surface and the alkali-treated porous titanium (ATPT) had a nano-sized needle-like rough surface. ATPT had similar mechanical strength to that of the control. After soaking into the Hank's solution, we observed apatite-like crystals in the SEM image, weight gain, and high Ca and P contents in ATPT. There was significant bone formation at an early stage in ATPT compared with that in control. It was suggested that the alkali-treated porous titanium had a bioactive surface and induced bone reconstruction effectively. This novel bioactive porous titanium can be expected to be a good bone reconstruction material. Porous titanium fabricated by the resin-impregnated titanium substitute technique has good mechanical strength and osteoconduction.
