description Abstract Porous calcium phosphate ceramics have attracted widespread attention owing to their excellent bioactivity. However, their poor mechanical properties severely limit their clinical applications. Significantly improving the mechanical strength of porous CaP ceramics while maintaining their bioactivity remains a major challenge. To address this issue, calcium sulfate is used to regulate the directional growth of hydroxyapatite grains during ceramic sintering. The in situ oriented grains can not only alleviate the stress concentration but also strengthen the bonding force between the ceramic grain boundaries. Calcium sulfate improves the release of active calcium ions from calcium phosphate ceramics, further enhancing their bioactivity and osteoinductivity in vivo. Transcriptome and proteome sequencing reveals that the in situ whisker‐reinforced ceramics increase the expression of proteins related to calcium ion binding and promote the expression of osteogenesis‐related proteins. In the supercritical bone defect repair model, repair of the defect is achieved within 3 months, with mechanical recovery reaching more than 70% of the autologous bone.
