PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition that can be used in application to vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty by minimally invasive treatment of vertebral compression fracture.SOLUTION: The invention provides a biocompatible, injectable, self-setting, cohesive, bone-bonding and remodeling calcium phosphate composite material and its use in repairing defective bone, e.g., in vertebroplasty augmentation and kyphoplasty. The CaP material is a nanocrystalline apatite (NCA) or a nano-low crystalline apatite (NLCA), which can be synthesized using, e.g., a low temperature double decomposition technique or a high energy grinding technique.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
