Explanation
It refers to the bone defect made of artificial materials that has similar structure and/or function to natural bone and is filled or replaced with materials. It mainly includes: macromolecule synthetic materials artificial bone, such as polymethyl methacrylate, high density polyethylene, polysulfone, poly (L-lactic acid), glycolic acid copolymer, liquid crystal reinforced poly (lactic acid), self reinforced poly (glycolic acid), etc; inorganic nonmetallic materials artificial bone, such as alumina, zirconia bioceramics, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, bioactive glass, etc; Macromolecule/biological cemmics (glass) composition human bones, such as composite materials such as polylactic acid/hydroxyapatite (bioglass), polyhexyl white ester/hydroxyapatite (Guiwu glass).
