Abstract

A method for forming a composite implant in a bone cavity is disclosed, which includes i) forming a first bone filler in a bone cavity; and ii) inserting a second bone filler into an unfilled space in the bone cavity, wherein the first bone filler has a higher compressive strength and slower bioresorption rate in comparison with the second bone filler.
