Therefore, an understanding of both surface chemistry and morphology of nanoHAp is needed in order to be able to anticipate its behavior. The aim of this paper is to characterize an engineered nanoHAp in terms of physico-chemical properties, biocompatibility, and its capability to reconstitute the orbital wall fractures in rabbits.
