Here, we demonstrate the in vivo efficacy of glucose microparticles (GMPs) to serve as porogens within calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) to obtain a fast-degrading bone substitute material. Composites were fabricated incorporating 20 wt% GMPs at two different GMP size ranges (100-150 μm (GMP-S) and 150-300 μm (GMP-L)), while CPC containing 20 wt% poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles (PLGA) and plain CPC served as controls. After 2 and 8 weeks implantation in a rat femoral condyle defect m ...[more]
