Abstract
An injectable composite material for bone repair comprises a biological tissue material and bioceramics in order to serve as a three-dimensional scaffold for bone regeneration. The biological tissue material consists of microfibers having a naturally cross-linked structure without additional physical or chemical cross-linking, has superior biological compatibility, and can be slowly and completely degraded in vivo. The bioceramics in the composite material serves as a reinforcing phase. When combining the biological tissue material with the bioceramics, the composite material provides a template for bone tissue regeneration to effectively induce bone growth. The injectable composite material for bone repair can be used to fill bone defects, particularly critical-sized bone defects, and can be combined with a biological agent such as bone marrow to improve its biological activity. Therefore, the composite material can be widely used to repair bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, osteonecrosis, and infection.
