## Abstract The use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) to reinforce vertebral bodies (Vertebroplasty) leads to an increase in the Young's modulus of the augmented vertebral body. Fractures in the adjacent vertebrae may be the consequence thereof. Hence, PMMA with a reduced Young's modulus may be suit

## Abstract Acrylic bone cement, based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), is a proven polymer having important applications in medicine and dentistry, but this polymer continues to have less than ideal resistance to mechanical fatigue and impact. A variety of materials have been added to bone cement
## Abstract The use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement to reinforce fragile or broken vertebral bodies (vertebroplasty) leads to extensive bone stiffening. Fractures in the adjacent vertebrae may be the consequence of this procedure. PMMA with a reduced Young's modulus may be more suitable. Th
