Reducing the porosity of bone cement substantially strengthens the cement in fatigue. However, concern has been raised that reducing the porosity of the cement would increase the shrinkage of the cement and thus compromise the cement-bone interface. We measured diametral shrinkage of cement mantles

The fatigue properties of Simplex P and Palacos R bone cements were compared to their antibiotic impregnated counterparts AKZ' and Palacos R with gentamycin.+ The effect of porosity reduction by centrifugation of all four cement types was also assessed. Fifteen specimens of each cement type were pre
## Two recent were published describing experimentation defining the fracture toughness and fatigue behavior of Surgical Simplex\* P and Zimmer bone cement. A major conclusion drawn from these studies was that "when fabricated at 5 psi, Zimmer acrylic bone cement shows superior fracture toughness
The mechanical properties of the three cement preparations most widely used in the United States were compared by conducting tensile and fatigue tests on Simplex P, LVC, and Zimmer Regular bone cements. Specimens of all three cement preparations were prepared for mechanical testing with and without
## Abstract To aid in cement removal during revision arthroplasty, it has been proposed to add methylene blue to bone cement to provide contrast between the cement and bone. However, it is essential that the fatigue strength of the cement not be reduced by the addition of the methylene blue. The ef
The weight-average molecular weight (MW(w)) of a cement and the method used to mix its powder and liquid monomer constituents have been identified in the literature as key variables that affect mechanical properties of the fully polymerized cement that are relevant to its performance as a grouting a
