Bone regeneration by biodegradable polymers

Compared to non-degradable polymers, biodegradable polymers are becoming an essential part of the healing of serious bone deformities and have piqued the interest of researchers. Bone is a complex living tissue that has a vital role in locomotion, protects vital organs, and supports and is vulnerable to fractures. Materials used for bone repair should be osteoconductive, osteogenic, and osteoinductive; they should be degraded by hydrolysis and biocompatible. Biodegradable polymers, however, fulfil the properties mentioned earlier; hence become a potential candidate for bone applications.
