Abstract
The state of the art of calcium phosphate/polymer composites for bone substitution is reviewed. Many combinations are possible which were proposed to improve the mechanical properties and the biocompatibility. However, the way from the laboratory to the clinical application is long, and potential candidates for new bone substitution materials have to meet many different requirements.
