[Development of biodegradable and bioabsorbable bone-repaired materials].
This paper reviews recent work on biodegradable and bioabsorbable materials, including macromolecular, inorganic, and compound materials which have been used as bone-repaired devices. The properties and uses of poly(lactic acid), chitin and tricalcium phosphate are expounded. At the same time, we discuss the trend in the development of biodegradable and bioabsorbable bone-repaired materials. In our opinion, the development of biodegradable and bioabsorbable bone-repaired materials forcuses on the composite of different materials, especially the composite of BMP and MSCs; on the improvement of the mechanical properties of materials; and on the search for new suitable materials.
