## Abstract Changes in mechanical properties of bone cements over time are of clinical importance, but not well documented. Specifications for testing do not address the time factor. This study recorded changes in compressive properties and microstructure of one bone cement stored under simulated p
## Abstract Barβshaped polymethylmethacrylate test specimens removed from rabbits after implantation for times up to 26 months showed a significant change in fracture stress as determined by threeβpoint bending in the period between 12 and 26 months. There were no adverse findings in the tissue whi
## Abstract In all but one of the acrylic bone cement brands used in cemented arthroplasties, __N__,__N__βdimethylβ4βtoluidine (DMPT) serves as the activator of the polymerization reaction. However, many concerns have been raised about this activator, all related to its toxicity. Thus, various work
The influence of the storage temperature of the cement constituents prior to mixing (21 vs. 4 degrees C) and the mixing method (hand mixing vs. vacuum mixing) on the uniaxial tension-compression fatigue performance and porosity of Palacos R acrylic bone cement was studied. The fatigue results were a
