Bone substitutes offer alternatives to bone grafts for treating bone defects. This review overviews current market products, including ceramics, cements, polymers, and xenografts, to address challenges with traditional bone transplantation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Bone defects necessitate alternatives to autografts and allografts.
  • Graft harvesting, donor limitations, and disease transmission pose significant challenges.
  • Development of bone substitutes aims to overcome these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of available bone substitute products.
  • To discuss various categories of bone substitutes currently on the market.
  • To highlight the advantages of bone substitutes over traditional bone transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of commercially available bone substitutes.
  • Categorization of materials based on their composition (inorganic, organic, composite, xenografts).
