description Bone tissue engineering is the main method for repairing large segment bone defects. In this study, a layer of bioactive MgO nanoparticles was wrapped on the surface of spherical Zn powders, which allowed the MgO nanoparticles to be incorporated into 3D-printed Zn matrix and improved the biodegradation and biocompatibility of the Zn matrix. The results showed that porous pure Zn scaffolds and Zn/MgO scaffolds with skeletal-gyroid (G) model structure were successfully prepared by selective laser melting (SLM). The average porosity of two porous scaffolds was 59.3 and 60.0%, respectively. The pores were uniformly distributed with an average pore size of 558.6–569.3 μm. MgO nanoparticles regulated the corrosion rate of scaffolds, resulting in a more uniform corrosion degradation behavior of the Zn/MgO scaffolds in simulated body fluid solution. The degradation ratio of Zn/MgO composite scaffolds in vivo was increased compared to pure Zn scaffolds, reaching 15.6% at 12 weeks. The yield strength (10.8 ± 2.4 MPa) of the Zn/MgO composite scaffold was comparable to that of cancellous bone, and the antimicrobial rate were higher than 99%. The Zn/MgO composite scaffolds could better guide bone tissue regeneration in rat cranial bone repair experiments (completely filling the scaffolds at 12 weeks). Therefore, porous Zn/MgO scaffolds with G-model structure prepared with SLM are a promising biodegradable bone tissue engineering scaffold.
