Abstract:
1. A method of making a prosthetic bone implant comprising: adding a porous component paste to a first mold, wherein the porous component paste comprises at least one calcium phosphate cement combined with at least one pore forming agent and at least one setting agent, wherein the setting agent comprises a liquid; displacing at least a portion of the liquid from the porous component paste to form a porous component; adding one or more porous components and a load bearing component paste to a second mold, wherein the load bearing component paste comprises at least one calcium phosphate cement combined with least one setting agent, wherein the setting agent comprises a liquid; displacing at least a portion of the liquid from the load bearing component paste to form a hardened calcium phosphate article, the hardened calcium phosphate article comprising a load bearing component at least partially surrounding one or more porous components; and forming the prosthetic bone implant, wherein the prosthetic bone implant comprises the hardened calcium phosphate article.
