## Abstract Synthetic bone substitutes, such as calcium phosphate ceramics, give good results in clinical applications. In order to adapt to surgical sites, bioceramics come in the form of blocks or granules, and are either dense or porous. Combining these bioceramics with fibrin glue provides a mo
## Abstract Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)–0.04(Na~2~O)–0.5(P~2~O~5~) was used as filler in poly‐L‐lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composite foams. Composites with
The repair of an osteochondral defect in rabbit femur was studied with three kinds of bioactive glasses (BG), hydroxyapatite (HA), and hydroxyapatite-glass (HAG) composite. Seventy-two osteochondral defects were created in 18 rabbits. Sixty-four cylinders were implanted and eight defects were left e
## Abstract Tissue engineering develops organ replacements to overcome the limitations associated with autografts and allografts. The work presented here details the development of biodegradable, porous, three‐dimensional polymer–ceramic‐sintered microsphere matrices to support bone regeneration. P
