Hydrogel: A potential therapeutic material for bone tissue engineering

Current surgical treatments and material applications are not ideal for the treatment of orthopedic clinical injuries, such as large bone defects, cartilage vascular tendon adhesions that occur after repair. With continuous development tissue engineering technology, hydrogels have become important medical biomaterials. Hydrogels three-dimensional hydrophilic network structures composed cross-linked polymer chains. They a new kind polymeric diseases. good biocompatibility, biodegradability, drug-carrying capacity, controllable drug release ability less toxic than nanoparticle carriers. been widely used in wound repair, guided regeneration, bacteriostasis, hemostasis, postoperative adhesion prevention, delivery, 3D printing. These characteristics can be to develop variety different This paper focuses on innovative progress promoting improving bone, cartilage, tendon, soft regeneration applications. prospective field orthopedics discussed herein.
