Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for treating a bone defect using a bio-material with increased porosity and reabsorption characteristics, the method comprising: (a) mixing a dry potassium phosphate based mixture with an aqueous solution to form a reabsorbable bio-material slurry, wherein the dry potassium phosphate based mixture comprises MgO, monobasic potassium phosphate, monobasic sodium phosphate, proteoglycans, and calcium sodium phosphosilicate, wherein a weight percent ratio of monobasic potassium phosphate to MgO is between about 3:1 and 1:1, wherein the dry potassium phosphate based mixture is configured to be mixed with the aqueous solution to thereby form a reabsorbable bio-material slurry, wherein the proteoglycans are between about 1-10 weight percent of the dry composition, (b) accessing a void of a bone defect within a bone, and (c) filling the void with the reabsorbable bio-material slurry, wherein the reabsorbable bio-material slurry is osteoconductive and osteoinductive, thereby enabling new bone growth in the void.
