Abstract:Impaction bone grafting in revision arthroplasty is a common and successful procedure to restore primary bone stock. Reducing the amount of bone needed to fill large grafts has been a driving force for the use of synthetic materials that can act as extenders or substitutes. To this end, we evaluated the mechanical properties of a new class of biodegradable polymer beads with and without donor bone to determine its suitability for use in impaction grafting. Biodegradable methacrylated anhydride beads were synth… Show more
