HAp implant materials are fabricated in the form of granules, blocks and scaffolds. Granules are especially attractive for implant applications, because they can be used directly and accommodate practically any embodiment. A novel method has been developed to fabricate HAp granules with controlled porous packed structure. Degradation tests are the first steps to evaluate biological performance of implant. Designed granules fabricated from HAp, Sr-HAp and Mg-HAp were tested in buffered citric acid solution (pH 3.0) and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-hydrochloric acid buffer solution (pH 7.4).
