Abstract

Abstract Medical Advances had led to an increase in life expectancy. However one of the challenges confronted by the orthopaedic surgeon is the repair and restoration of skeletal bone defects resulting from trauma. Nano Hydroxyapatite combined with natural polymer starch can be used as a biomaterial for making scaffolds for the bone tissue regeneration process. This is used to improve the biocompatibility of the scaffolds for living cells. The materials are synthesized by Wet Chemical Method in liquid phase, dried to obtain solid particles and solvent casting technique is used for making the scaffolds in the ratio 1:1. Cytotoxicity test revealed that obtained scaffold materials are highly compatible and non-toxic to the body.
