Abstract
The invention features fiber reinforced bone repair putties and fiber reinforced pliable lyophilized implants which are useful for the treatment of bone defects. The putties and lyophilized implants include ceramic particles. The formulations of the invention can exhibit reduced migration of the ceramic particles, and are mechanically strengthened so the materials can be aggressively manipulated by a physician during an implantation procedure without tearing or puncturing.
