Significance of the porosity and physical chemistry of calcium phosphate ceramics. Orthopedic uses

Although some studies in Europe and Japan on the orthopedic applications of calcium phosphate ceramics have evolved, the studies concluded in the United States to date must be considered as being experimental and at an early stage of development. This paper includes discussions of the materials, cli...
