摘要: This study was designed to investigate the in vivo biodegration and biocompatibility of a poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF)-based orthopedic biomaterial. The effects varying PPF N-vinyl pyrrolidinone ratio β-tricalcium phosphate content were studied. composite mechanical properties local tissue interactions analyzed over 12 weeks. An initial increase both compressive modulus strength seen for formulations that incorporated phosphate. samples incorporating higher reached maximal 7.7 MPa 191.4 at 3 lower gained maximum 7.5 initially 134.0 1 week. At 6 weeks, all crumbled upon removal not mechanically tested. Samples did incorporate very weak insufficient bone replacement 4-day time point beyond.
