The Nano-HA powder was prepared by chemical precipitation. Magnesium powders were used to make porous ultramicron HA ceramic, and the biological properties of which were investigated by hemolysis rate and cytotoxicity tests. The experimental results shows that the hemolysis rate of the nano-HA powder and porous ultramicron HA ceramic were all less than 5% and none of them showed cytotoxicity. The results indicated that nano-HA and porous ultramicron HA ceramic were provided with good biocompatibility.
