Injectable composite hydrogels for orthopaedic application. Mechanical and Morphological Analysis

The large number of orthopaedic procedure performed arthoscopically each year has led to a great interest in injectable biodegradable materials for bone regeneration. In this study a composite hydrogel has been prepared with Calcium Phosphate particle (H-cement) reinforcong tha matrix of poly-vinylalcohol (PVA). The composite has demonstrated good mechanical properties in the range of spongious bone and easy injectable.
