If hydroxyapatite‐based bioceramics should be exploited under load bearing conditions, mechanical properties, for instance fracture toughness and reliability, need to be improved. The following contribution relates own research results about short fiber reinforced hydroxyapatite for hard tissue engineering to actual developments in this field. In addition to mechanical properties, attention is given to methods of tailoring the fiber‐matrix interface, promoted decomposition of hydroxyapatite due to the fiber reinforcement, the presence of amorphous calcium phosphate and the biological behaviour.
