Calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC) is in the form of a paste, and its special advantage is that it can repair small and complex bone defects. In the case of open wounds, tissue debridement is necessary before tissue repair and the subsequent control of wound infection; therefore, CPC composite hydrogel beads containing antibiotics provide an excellent option to fill bone defects and deliver antibiotics locally for a long period. In this study, CPC was composited with the millimeter-sized spherical beads of cross-linked gelatin–alginate hydrogels at the different ratios of 0 (control), 12.5, 25, and 50 vol.%. The hydrogel was impregnated with gentamicin and characterized before compositing with CPC. The physicochemical properties, gentamicin release, antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and mineralization of the CPC/hydrogel composites were characterized. The compressive strength of the CPC/hydrogel composites gradually decreased as the hydrogel content increased, and the compressive strength of composites containing gentamicin had the largest decrease. The working time and setting time of each group can be adjusted to 8 and 16 min, respectively, using a hardening solution to make the composite suitable for clinical use. The release of gentamicin before the hydrogel beads was composited with CPC varied greatly with immersion time. However, a stable controlled release effect was obtained in the CPC/gentamicin-impregnated hydrogel composite. The 50 vol.% hydrogel/CPC composite had the best antibacterial effect and no cytotoxicity but had reduced cell mineralization. Therefore, the optimal hydrogel beads content can be 25 vol.% to obtain a CPC/gentamicin-impregnated hydrogel composite with adequate strength, antibacterial activity, and bio-reactivity. This CPC/hydrogel containing gentamicin is expected to be used in clinical surgery in the future to accelerate bone regeneration and prevent prosthesis infection after surgery.

Introduction: A novel injectable calcium phosphate bone cement (osteopaste) has been developed. Its potential application in orthopaedics as a filler of bone defects has been studied. The biomaterial was composed of tetra-calcium phosphate (TTCP) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) powder. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the healing process of osteopaste in rabbit tibia. Materials and method: The implantation procedure was carried out on thirty-nine of New Zealand white rabbits. The in vivo bone formation was investigated by either implanting the Osteopaste, Jectos or MIIG – X3 into a critical size defect (CSD) model in the proximal tibial metaphysis. CSD without treatment served as negative control. After 1 day, 6 and 12 weeks, the rabbits were euthanized, the bone were harvested and subjected for analysis. Results: Radiological images and histological sections revealed integration of implants with bone tissue with no signs of graft rejection. There was direct contact between osteopaste material and host bone. The new bone was seen bridging the defect. Conclusion: The result showed that Osteopaste could be a new promising biomaterial for bone repair and has a potential in bone tissue engineering.

The aim of this work is to improve the mechanical properties of calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC) by appending chitosan microspheres to CPC base. That chitosan degrades rapidly than bone cement has been proved by previous investigations. Porous CPC has low compressive strength because of the pores in it weakening the structure. Additive chitosan microspheres can improve the mechanical properties by bearing the compress with the CPC base and produce pores after degradation. This study investigates the effect of chitosan microspheres on the setting time, mechanical properties, phase evolution and morphology of CPC. The additive proportion of chitosan microspheres ranges from 0 wt% to 30 wt%. Compared with original CPC, the modified CPC has higher compressive strength, without significantly affecting the chemical properties. The phase composition of the CPC is tested by XRD. The microstructures of CPC are observed using SEM. The final setting times range from 5~15 minutes and can be modulated by using different liquid and powder (L/P) ratio.

Results of experimental morphologic study of tricomponent resorbable calcium phosphate bone cement (CPhC), based on tricalcium phosphate for the filling of defect as a temporary bearing resorbable matrix are presented. Study was performed on soviet chinchilla rabbits weighting 3200-3500 g. The model of critical spongy bone defect was used. At different observation terms (6, 9 and 12 months) gradual substitution of biomaterial with newly formed bone tissue from periphery to the center was observed with complete cement resorption 12 months after surgery. By mechanic characteristics newly formed bone in the defect was stronger than the surrounding trabecular one. It was stated that material possessed hemostatic effect and moderate toxicity. Peripheral bone marrow maintained its cellularity at all terms, gradually filling intertrabecular space of newly formed bone. Achieved data enable to recommend wide used of CPhC for bone defects substitution.

Calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC), a ceramic material, is commonly used as a biomaterial for the restoration of bone injuries. This study creates the composite scaffolds by mixing CPC with various amounts of polylactide fibers. Then, the resulting scaffolds are observed and tested in terms of the morphology, compressive strength, and fiber distribution, respectively, to explore the influence of the addition of polylactide fibers on the scaffolds. According to the experimental result, the compressive strength of the scaffolds increases as a result of an increase in the addition of fibers.
