Investigation of the cell (osteocytes, fibroblasts and keratinocytes) adhesion and penetration in pores of the
titanium pylon in vivo on the laboratory animals (Wistar rats) has been performed. The titanium pylon has been
implanted in bone of a rat's thigh residuum. Electronic scanning and morphological analysis demonstrated the
certain integration of the pylon with the surrounding tissues. The latter opens a possibility for development of
direct skeletal attachment of limb prostheses.
Key words: porous titanium, osseointegration, cell adhesion
