Aim:
Experimental analysis of the strength properties of integration of muscle tissue, tendons and ligaments, bone tissue into titanium highly porous materials prepared by using of additive technologies.
Material And Methods:
The study included 9 mature rabbits of the Chinchilla breed. Both posterior paws and latissimus dorsi muscles (36 specimens) were used. Titanium models (Ti-6-Al-4-V, 'Rematitan', Germany) were made by additive technologies with preliminary prototyping, the prototypes had a highly porous mesh structure.
Results:
It was developed experimental model of functional bone defect involving points of attachment of the muscle and ligaments. Strength of attachment of muscles to highly porous implants was 145 H vs. 31 H for standard models. Tensile strength for fixation to bone tissue was 84 H vs. 152 H in the main group.
Conclusion:
It was found integration of soft tissues and bones into highly porous titanium implants prepared with additive technologies. Fixation strength significantly exceeds that for standard models.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...
