With superior performance (e.g., mechanical strength, injectability, and biocompatibility), nanocomposite hydrogels play a critical role in improving clinical treatment outcomes. In this chapter, we discuss recent applications of nanocomposite hydrogels in the orthopedic field and summarize the potential therapeutic benefits in unsolved problems.Bone healing | Cartilage defect | Infection control | Nanocomposite hydrogelsbook part2-s2.0-85167863324https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85167863324
