Review reveals clinical benefits of polyether-ether-ketone in bone defect repair, highlighting its potential to replace conventional autologous bone grafts.

Key Points

To review the performance requirements, material engineering advances, and surface modification techniques of polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) for orthopedic implantation.
Synthesized current clinical and material science literature regarding the treatment of major bone defects caused by trauma and tumors.
Evaluated the mechanical, biological, and radiographic properties of PEEK relative to traditional metals, ceramics, and autografts.
Assessed surface modification strategies and composite formulations designed to enhance osteointegration.
PEEK exhibits high mechanical strength, toughness, thermal stability, wear resistance, and non-toxicity suitable for load-bearing skeletal sites.
Natural X-ray radiolucency eliminates metallic scattering artifacts, allowing unobstructed radiographic evaluation of postoperative bone healing.
Advanced surface modifications address the inherent biological inertness of PEEK, successfully improving clinical efficacy and cellular attachment.
