Porous hydroxyapatite ceramics for use in neurosurgical practice. 1986

T Koyama, and J Handa

Hydroxyapatite ceramics have been increasingly used as an inert prosthetic material in the practice of reconstructive surgery and dentistry. However, the use of this material, which has excellent biostability and biocompatibility, has not yet been popular with most neurosurgeons. The purpose of this paper is to describe three kinds of prosthetic devices made of porous hydroxyapatite ceramics that we have found useful in neurosurgical practice.

D019736 Prostheses and Implants Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
