Bioactive Glass in Osteology: Emerging Benefits, Safety, and Potential Applications in Orthopedic Surgery
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bioactive glass is an emerging biomaterial in orthopedic surgery due to its biocompatibility, antimicrobial effect, and osteogenic capacity. It shows benefits in osteomyelitis and bone defects, reducing antibiotic use. However, robust clinical studies are needed to define its role in routine practice.
