Bone graft substitutes are crucial for over 500,000 annual procedures. This review covers allografts, calcium sulfates, phosphates, and polymers for various surgical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Bone grafts are vital for structural support and organ protection.
  • Over 500,000 bone-grafting procedures occur annually in the U.S.
  • Novel biomaterials are sought to improve bone replacement outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review commercially available bone graft substitutes.
  • To describe the properties and applications of various biomaterials.
  • To highlight uses in craniofacial, neurosurgery, fracture repair, dental, and pediatric procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing bone graft substitute materials.
  • Categorization of substitutes into allografts, calcium sulfates, calcium phosphates, and polymers.

  • Analysis of biomaterial properties and clinical applications.

    • Main Results:

    • Allografts, calcium sulfates, calcium phosphates, and polymers are key commercially available bone graft substitutes.
    • Each material possesses unique properties influencing its suitability for specific applications.
    • Successful applications span diverse surgical fields.

    Conclusions:

    • Commercially available bone graft substitutes offer viable alternatives for bone reconstruction.
    • Material selection depends on desired properties like biocompatibility, radiolucency, and host bone integration.
    • Continued research into ideal bone graft biomaterials is essential for advancing orthopedic and reconstructive surgery.
