## Abstract A major weakness of current orthopedic implant materials, for instance sintered hydroxyapatite (HA), is that they exist as a hardened form, requiring the surgeon to fit the surgical site around an implant to the desired shape. This can cause an increase in bone loss, trauma to the surro

## Abstract To meet the challenge of regenerating bone lost to disease or trauma, biodegradable scaffolds are being investigated as a way to regenerate bone without the need for an autoβ or allograft. Here, we have developed a novel microsphereβbased chitosan/nanocrystalline calcium phosphate (CaP)
## Abstract An injectable calcium phosphate bone substitute material has been prepared by mixing amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) for use in noninvasive surgery, and the influence of additives, such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, polyethylene glycol (PEG),
