Chemical Interactions between Ca‐Aluminate Implants and Bone
Abstract
This article describes a novel injectable ceramic based on the calcium aluminate system, especially designed for orthopaedic treatment of e. g. vertebral compression fractures, metaphyseal fractures and cranio‐facial restoration. The article focuses particularly on the chemical interactions between the Ca‐aluminate based material and bone tissue. The interface between bone and the ceramic material after 6 weeks of implantation in a model …
