We performed total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a special acrylic self-curing bone cement (Bonemiteยฎ), which contains tri-n-butylborane as the initiator. Its maximum temperature at curing is lower than that of a conventional bone cement (CMWยฎ). Fifty-eight THAs using Bonemite and 35 THAs using CMW w

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Quantitative information regarding the interface strength and degree of cement penetration associated with cement viscosity during total hip arthroplasty is limited. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of the viscosity of bone cement at the time of implantation on the mechanical integrity of total hip arthroplasty. Cement that was injected at an early, less viscous stage produced greater failure strength in a pushโout test than its more viscous counterpart.

## Abstract During cement curing in total hip arthroplasty, residual stresses are introduced in the cement mantle as a result of curing shrinkage, thermal shrinkage, and geometrical constraints. These high residual stresses are capable of initiating cracks in the mantle of cemented hip replacements
