In the later stage, the inner layer MgO can slowly release Mg ion for a long time, synergistically promoting the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts by directly stimulating osteoblasts and inducing M2 polarization of macrophages. The rat femoral implantation model confirms the good sequential immune-enhanced antibacteria and bone integration ability of the film <em>in vivo</em>.
