Calcium phosphate bioceramics solutions for trauma sector - Medical / Health Care

Trauma can result in extensive destruction to bone and the potential loss of bone material. Reconstruction may require instrumentation to stabilize the damaged site and some form of scaffold material to facilitate bone healing across large gaps. Allograft bone chips from bone fragments caused by the trauma are the best scaffold source but if they are not sufficient an additional scaffold material may be needed. Synthetic calcium phosphates can serve as supplementary scaffold/graft materials.
