Abstract: BACKGROUND: Due to the unique anatomical and physiological characteristics of bone and the dose dependence of osteogenic drugs, the local drug delivery system in fracture area is still limited. In recent years, with the development of tissue engineering technology and the refinement and controllability of drug delivery system, the research of targeting drug delivery system has become a hot spot. The local system for promoting fracture healing can be loaded with a variety of bone promoting factors, and a variety of different biological compounds can also be used synergistically to accelerate fracture healing.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the process of the local drug delivery system in promoting fracture healing.
METHODS: The Chinese and English key words were “drug delivery, fracture”. PubMed and CNKI were used to retrieve articles published from January 1990 to February 2022 by computer. Finally, 130 articles were included and analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The carriers for local delivery can be divided into three dimensional porous scaffolds, hydrogels, nanoparticles and microspheres. They have the following characteristics: good biocompatibility and biodegradability, controllable particle size, high specific surface area, easy to prepare, etc. The drug delivery system can carry osteopromoting ingredients, including stem cells, growth factors, drugs and RNAi. Targeting drug delivery system has the advantages of simple dose control, noninvasive administration and less side effects, which makes this treatment method have an ideal treatment prospect.

Key words: fracture, local drug delivery system, bone regeneration, biomaterial, bone tissue engineering
