ABSTRACT
Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is well known for the excellent bioactivity and biocompatibility, however, CPC has been used only for the repair of non-load bearing bone defects due to its brittle nature and low flexural strength. Polymer reinforced CPC has been considered as one of the most effective strategies for mechanical reinforcement. This paper summarizes various kinds of polymers loaded CPC:fiber reinforcement, microsphere reinforcement and dual setting cements. It is aimed to analyze the advantages, disadvantages and principles of the polymers reinforced CPC, and so as to lay a foundation for the further research of improving and manufacturing the CPC with ideal mechanical properties.
