Dimensionally stable molded bone replacement element with residual hydraulic activity

Method for manufacturing dimensionally stable molded bone replacement elements with residual hydraulic activity, comprising the following steps:

• a. mixing a reactive mineral bone cement with a carrier fluid with low solubility in water to create a moldable bone cement substance,
• b. shaping the bone cement substance to form a molded bone replacement element,
• c. putting the molded bone replacement element into contact with an aqueous solution or a water (steam) saturated environment so that a setting process is initiated and the molded bone replacement element achieves at least 5% of the maximum value of the strength of a completely hardened bone replacement material made of the same components and with the same structural features, especially the same porosity,
• d. termination of the setting process by a complete withdrawal of physically bound and condensed water so that the dimensionally stable molded bone replacement element, which can be converted under biological conditions, 37° C. and water saturation, contains a share of hardened mineral bone cement of 5% to 90% by weight, such that the dimensionally stable molded bone replacement element has residual hydraulic activity.
