Abstract

A method of forming a polymer/ceramic composite for use in various purposes. For example, the polymer/ceramic composite may be used in orthopedic procedures for replacing bone material, forming an implant, providing an anchor or other appropriate uses. The polymer/ceramic composite may also include selected characteristics such as a hardness, a strength, a bioabsorbability, a biocompatibility or other appropriate characteristics.
