An ideal bone grafting material should be compatible with physiological environment, provoke osseous tissue formation and adapt degradation behaviour to new bone tissue growth. Calcium phosphates, a main inorganic constituent of the human hard tissue, are by far the best substitute materials for bone reconstruction because of their excellent ...
PEEK is biocompatible, similar in elasticity to bone, and radiolucent; however, it has been shown to be inert and does not integrate well with bone. Recent efforts have focused on increasing the bioactivity of PEEK by modifying the surface to improve the bone-implant interface. ...
