Notes:
We performed vertebroplasty on goat model by injecting a new macroporous calciumphosphate cement MCPC®. The mechanical property of the cement is about 12MPa after 24 hours(compression test). The cement matrix is totally transformed into poorly crystallized apatite in 48hours. This study demonstrates that MCPC cement was suitable and efficient for a spineapplication. Its injectability allows to be used in mini invasive surgery and its mechanical propertiesare compatible to support spine strength. In addition, a bone ingrowth onto the BCP granulesoccurred with time
