Study on ZrO_2-toughened Hydroxyapatite Compound Bioceramics to Repair Massive Long Bone Defect XU Wei-guo 1,CHEN An-min 1,HUANG Chuan-yong 2,FU He-lin 2,SUN Shu-zhen 2 (1.Tongji Medical College, HUST, Wuhan 430030, China; 2.School of Materials Science and Engineering, WUT, Wuhan 430070, China)This paper studies ZrO 2 - toughened hydroxyapatite compound bioceramics in order to repair massive long bone defect. Mineralogic composition constitution and microstructure were analysised by XRD?TEM and SEM, physical and chemical character were tested. The material′s structure and character were analyzed and its primary formula was ascertained.bioceramics; hydroxyapatite; ZrO 2-toughened; biocompatibility
