Mineral calcium phosphat bone cements (CPC) are outstanding materials for filling bone defects due to their high biocompatibility to the natural bone. However, mineral bone cements currently available on the market can not be use in load bearing defects lacking a suitable mechanical strength. ...

Calcium phosphate bone cements (CPC) are potentially highly valuable materials for filling of bone defects and bone augmentation by minimal invasive application via percutaneous injection. Presently available products however need to be mixed very thoroughly within a narrow window of powder to liquid ratio in order to give an injectable paste or are not injectable at all. ...

Osteoporotic compression fractures of the spine are the lead indication for the development of injectable bone cements and bone substitute materials. Modern treatment concepts rely on minimal invasive application of polymeric bone cements into damaged vertebral bodies, thereby stabilizing the instable fracture and reducing pain. ...
