Traditional bone repair materials, such as titanium, polyetheretherketone, and calcium phosphate, exhibit limitations, including poor biocompatibility and incongruent mechanical properties. In contrast, ceramic-polymer composite materials combine the robust mechanical strength of ceramics with the flexibility of polymers, resulting in enhanced biocompatibility and mechanical performance. In recent years, researchers worldwide have conducted extensive studies to develop innovative composite materials and manufacturing processes, with the aim of enhancing the bone repair capabilities of implants. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in ceramic-polymer composite materials, as well as in 3D printing and surface modification techniques for composite materials, with the objective of offering valuable insights to improve and facilitate the clinical application of ceramic-polymer composite materials in the future.
