| Research Abstract |
Bone filling materials should have enough strength for weight bearing and adequate osteoconductive property. But these properties are incompatible. In this study, we used hybrid materials of Self-assembling Peptide PuraMatrix and Polyetheretherketone Cage. PuraMatrix has good osteoconductive property and Polyetheretherketone Cage has enough strength for bone filing material. We showed that these hybrid materials were useful for repairing the bone defects in Rat's femurs.
