✦ Synopsis

Nowadays, the scientific community widely accepts the statement that silicon-substituted calcium phosphates have better biological properties compared to pure calcium phosphates. For example, a review published in this journal in 2007 started with the sentence ''Silicon (Si) substitution in the crystal structures of calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) generates materials with superior biological performance to stoichiometric counterparts'' . A critical look at published articles demonstrates that this sentence is controversial and somehow misleading, because there is no experimental evidence that Si ions are released from Si-substituted calcium phosphates at therapeutic concentrations, and because there is no study linking the improved biological performance of Si-substituted calcium phosphates to Si release.

## Abstract Malunion after a distal radius fracture can be treated with an osteotomy of the distal radius. Autologous iliac crest bone graft is often used to fill the gap, but the procedure is associated with donor site morbidity. In this study a novel fast resorbing biphasic bone substitute consis
