Biodegradable bone repair materials. Synthetic polymers and ceramics

J O Hollinger et al. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

Many different materials have been used by orthopedic and maxillofacial surgeons to repair bony deficiencies. This review is limited to those materials that have been shown to be tissue-tolerant and biodegradable, and to include certain synthetic polymers and ceramics. There are many possible applications for these agents. Special terms and concepts are germane to an understanding of polymers and ceramics.
