Abstract
The invention is directed to a bone matrix composition for use in the repair and healing of osseous tissue. The composition can be used in load-bearing and non-load bearing applications, including for example, orthopaedic applications including spinal applications, and oral-facial applications including dental applications. The composition includes one or more non-liquid semi-synthetic polymers; and particulate bone including allogenic, autogenic, or xenogenic bone, where the bone is cancellous, corticocancellous bone, and/or cortical bone. The composition may also optionally contain one or more pharmaceutically active agents. The composition can be formulated as a gel, putty, a paste, a cake, or solid.
