There is at present great uncertainty relating to the fixation of joint implants. The deficiencies of acrylic bone cement are well documented, but the limitations of cementless fixation are as yet imcompletely identified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of sustained extern

The fact that bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate (bis-GMA)-based cements contain an uncured surface is believed to play an important role when determining the surface curing properties of the cements. Therefore, in the present study, the bone-bonding strength of cement plates having an uncured surfac
## 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 Approximately a million bone grafts are performed each year in the United States, and this number is expected to increase rapidly as the population ages. Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) can intimately adapt to the bone cavity and harden to form resorbable hydroxyapatite with excellent os
## Abstract Polymethylmethacrylate bone cement, containing either no added antibiotic, 0.5 g of Vancomycin, 1.0 g of Vancomycin, or 1.0 g of Tobramycin, was mixed either in air or a vacuum chamber. Following storage in a water bath at 37Β°C for 48 h, the specimens were tested in fourβpoint bending.
We examined the influence of the proportion of glass-ceramic powder in a bioactive bone cement of our formula on the bone-bonding ability of cement. Changes in cement bonding with time also were examined. The bioactive bone cement consisted of MgO-CaO-SiO 2 -P 2 O 5 -CaF 2 glass-ceramic powder (AW-G
