## Abstract Long‐term results are reported in 23 patients and short‐term results in 30 patients presenting with bone tumors treated by curettage or resection followed by implantation of hydroxyapatite (HA) or highly purified beta‐tricalcium phosphate (β‐TCP), respectively. Mean follow‐up was 97 and
Addition of tricalcium phosphate (␣-TCP) powders as an aqueous dispersion to a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is shown to produce a class of composites that due to their microstructure and mechanical properties may be suitable for application as bone substitutes. The PMMA forms a solid ce
