An approach to the fabrication of the bone graft exhibiting bone regeneration function as well as the local drug delivery was made. Hydroxyapatite (HA)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) porous scaffolds containing 4-5 mg lidocaine were prepared, lidocaine release rate was investigated and compared for scaffolds with and without biocompatible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coating. The in vitro dissolution tests showed 77% drug release within the first hour for uncoated scaffolds, while scaffolds with PVA coating released 67% of lidocaine within 7 h.
