1. An implant material for replacing hard tissue of a living body, comprising 10 to 90% by weight of a fiber glass mainly composed of calcium phosphate and 90 to 10% by weight of an organic high polymer material not inhibiting affinity with the living body, the surface of the fiber glass being coated with a calcium phosphate compound having a Ca/P molar ratio of from 0.8 to 1.7 and resulting from dipping the fiber glass in a solution containing phosphoric ions and having a pH value of from 2 to 7, a portion of said fiber glass being exposed on the surface of said implant material, said implant material having a bending strength of from 500 kg/cm2 to 16500 kg/cm2, a modulus of bending elasticity of from 0.6 to 105 kg/cm2 to 5.5×

  • 105 kg/cm2, and a density of from 1.3 to 2.3 g/cm3, said fiber glass containing a total content of CaO and P2 O5 of not less than 15% by weight, and having a molar ratio of Ca/P of from 0.3 to 4.0, the bending strength, the modulus of bending elasticity and the density being adjusted within said range by varying the content of the fiber glass.
