Abstract:
1. A method of making a dual function 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; subjecting the porous component paste to a molding pressure of greater than about 1 MPa to form a porous component, wherein the molding pressure is selected such that a predetermined compressive strength of the porous component is achieved; 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; and subjecting the load-bearing component paste to a molding pressure of greater than about 1 MPa to form the prosthetic bone implant, wherein the molding pressure is selected such that a predetermined compressive strength of the load bearing component is achieved.
