Review of Current and Future Methods for Fracture Repair
Main Article Content
Abstract
One special kind of tissue found in bones is that it may regrow after injury. Nonetheless, for correct alignment and healing, there are some fractures and abnormalities that call for professional intervention. As with any implant, the material chosen to make the implants to treat these issues needs to be carefully considered. The implants themselves may cause bone fractures or abnormalities, or there may be no bone healing at all, if the wrong material is selected. Metals, ceramics, and polymers are the three types of biomaterials that have been employed in the treatment of bone abnormalities as well as fractures. Each class of biomaterial has certain advantages and restrictions related to its uses. In an effort to capitalize on the many advantages that each of these materials has to offer, composites of these various materials have also been developed. This study outlines the many materials that have been developed to treat fractures and bone deformities in place of bone grafts, as well as their drawbacks and the need for more research
