Abstract
A composition including a hydraulic cement for implantation in a human or animal body. The hydraulic cement includes a first component, a second component, and a third component. The first component includes a calcium source while the second component includes water. The third component is a hydrophobic liquid. The composition hardens after mixing of the components, and results in a cement with open macroporosity enabling a rapid bone ingrowth.
