Coatings of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential applications in surface modification for medical implants, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems. Therefore, developing an applicable method for surface-mounted MOF engineering to fabricate protective coating for implant tissue engineering is a crucial issue. Besides, the coating process was desgined for drug infusion and effect opposing chemical and mechanical resistance. In the present review, we discuss the techniques of MOF coatings for medical application in both in vitro and in vivo in various systems such as in situ growth of MOFs, dip coating of MOFs, spin coating of MOFs, Layer-by-layer methods, spray coating of MOFs, gas phase deposition of MOFs, electrochemical deposition of MOFs. The current study investigates the modification in the implant surface to change the properties of the alloy surface by MOF to improve properties such as reduction of the biofilm adhesion, prevention of infection, improvement of drugs and ions rate release, and corrosion resistance. MOF coatings on the surface of alloys can be considered as an opportunity or a restriction. The presence of MOF coatings in the outer layer of alloys would significantly demonstrate the biological, chemical and mechanical effects. Additionally, the impact of MOF properties and specific interactions with the surface of alloys on the anti-microbial resistance, anti-corrosion, and self-healing of MOF coatings are reported. Thus, the importance of multifunctional methods to improve the adhesion of alloy surfaces, microbial and corrosion resistance and prospects are summarized.
