Bone injuries and defects pose significant challenges in the field of orthopedic medicine, often requiring innovative approaches for effective repair and regeneration. In recent years, the development of inductive biomaterials has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance bone healing processes. These biomaterials possess unique properties that enable them to stimulate and guide the natural regenerative capacity of the body, offering a versatile platform for tissue engineering applications. This review explores the current landscape of inductive biomaterials in the context of bone injury. It provides an overview of the fundamental principles underlying bone regeneration and the challenges associated with conventional treatment modalities. Subsequently, it delves into the characteristics and mechanisms of action of inductive biomaterials, highlighting their ability to modulate cellular behavior, promote osteogenic differentiation, and facilitate extracellular matrix remodeling.
