    Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely employed in the treatment of orthopedics and other hard tissue diseases. However, Ti-based implants are bioinert and suffer from bacterial infections and poor osseointegration in clinical applications. Herein, we successfully modified Ti with a porous -halaminated spermidine-containing polymeric coating (Ti-SPD-Cl) through alkali-heat treatment, surface grafting and chlorination, and it has both excellent antibacterial and osteogenic abilities to significantly enhance osseointegration. The as-obtained Ti-SPD-Cl contains abundant N-Cl groups and demonstrates effective antibacterial ability against and . Meanwhile, due to the presence of the spermidine component and construction of a porous hydrophilic surface, Ti-SPD-Cl is also beneficial for maintaining cell membrane homeostasis and promoting cell adhesion, exhibiting good biocompatibility and osteogenic ability. The rat osteomyelitis model demonstrates that Ti-SPD-Cl can effectively suppress bacterial infection and enhance bone-implant integration. Thus, Ti-SPD-Cl shows promising clinical applicability in the prevention of orthopedic implant infections and poor osseointegration.
