Abstract :
Prime task for orthopedists and traumatologists is the development of new artificial materials for replacement of osseous tissue and cartilage defects, for functional rehabilitation of the injured locomotorium tissue after traumatic fractures and surgical interventions. Electron beam (EB) processing of polymer composites with bioactive ceramics was used for manufacture of new artificial materials for orthopedic implants. Experimental approaches and problems of EB processing for composites formation are discussed in the paper.
