Bone defects persist as a significant challenge in the field of clinical orthopedics. This study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of 3D-printed composite hydrogel scaffolds composed of sodium alginate, gelatin, and α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) with varying ratios of Strontium ions (Sr 2+ ). These scaffolds aim to address the clinical challenges associated with bone defect repair by providing mechanical support and promoting bone formation and vascularization. The degradation, swelling, mechanical properties, and release profiles of Sr 2+ from the hydrogel scaffolds were comprehensively characterized. In vitro tests were conducted to assess cell viability and proliferation, as well as osteogenic and angiogenic gene expression, to investigate the osteogenic and pro-angiogenic potential of the composite hydrogel scaffolds. Furthermore, skull defect simulations were performed, and composite scaffolds with varying Sr 2+ ratios were implanted to evaluate their effectiveness in bone repair. This research establishes a foundation for advancing bone tissue engineering through composite scaffolds containing biological macromolecules and strontium, with alginate serving as a key element in enhancing performance and expanding clinical applicability.
