Polyetheretherketone is one of the most commonly used materials for the production of orthopaedic implants, but the osseointegration capacity of polyetheretherketone is poor because of its bioinert surface, which greatly limits its clinical application. In recent years, scholars have carried out a lot of research on the modification of polyetheretherketone materials in order to improve its osseointegration capacity. At present, the modification of polyetheretherketone is mainly divided into surface modification and blend modification. Therefore, this paper summarizes the research progress of polyetheretherketone material modification technology and its influence on osseointegration from two aspects of surface modification and blend modification for polyetheretherketone materials used in the field of bone repair, so as to provide a reference for the improvement and transformation of polyetheretherketone materials for bone repair in the future.
