Biomaterials for surgical repair of osteoporotic bone defects

As the global population ages, osteoporotic bone fractures leading to bone defects are increasingly becoming a significant challenge in the field of public health. Treating this disease faces many challenges,especially in the context of an imbalance between osteoblast and osteoclast activities. Therefore, the development of new biomaterials has become the key. This article reviews various design strategies and their advantages and disadvantages for biomaterials aimed at osteoporotic bone defects. Overall, current research progress indicates that innovative design, functionalization, and targeting of materials can significantly enhance bone regeneration under osteoporotic conditions. By comprehensively considering biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and bioactivity, these biomaterials can be further optimized, offering a range of choices and strategies for the repair of osteoporotic bone defects.
