Progress of drug-loaded β-tricalcium phosphate in the treatment of bone defects / 国际外科学杂志

Bone defects caused by trauma, infection, tumor and other factors is a thorny problem in orthopedic clinic, and promoting bone repair and regeneration is the key and difficult point of treatment. In addition to autologous bone grafting, artificial bone materials are often used for large bone defects. β-tricalcium phosphate has good biocompatibility, bone conduction and bone induction properties, and has been studied deeply because of its excellent drug delivery performance and has shown broad application prospects. In this paper, the author will summarize the research progress of β-tricalcium phosphate composites loaded with different drugs in the treatment of bone defects caused by trauma, infection and tumor.
