Abstract

A novel type of bone cement, magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC), was fabricated by mixing 5% phosphoric acid with magnesia, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sucrose, hydroxyapatite, and sod...

Summary

Introduction

Irregular bone defects and unstable fractures ( comminuted fractures due to osteoporosis) frequently occur in clinics and are difficult to cure (Habibovic & Groot, 2007). The main treatment methods in clinics include incision restoration with internal fixation, microplate screw fixation, and intramedullary fixation (Yu et al, 2010). Even in massive bone fractures, the fixation is not easy because the spongy bone makes the fixation ineffective due to its weaker. Zaijun Yang has been working in the field of inorganic biomaterial development and biological evaluation for past five years and their laboratory is part of collaboration innovation center for tissue repair material engineering technology, China West Normal University. This center is mainly engaged in the research and development of biomaterials and biological evaluation. The center has four independent intellectual property products into clinical trials
