The properties of biocompatible orthopaedic polymer developed as an alternative to the metallic materials used in reconstructive bone surgery are discussed. Experiments were conducted to enhance the mechanical characteristics of the polymer by incorporation of various fibres. The result was a super biocompatible orthopaedic polymer which could be a valuable alternative to intra-medullary long bone metallic rods, whilst normal biocompatible orthopaedic polymer is currently used for bone filling and reconstructive surgery.
