## Abstract The vital first phase of the overall materials study to protract the life of the total joint replacements is the identification of the fracture toughness and fatigue properties of bone cements. Information gained from fatigue testing, performed in a manner which simulates __in vivo__ co
For the purpose of studying its applicability for acrylic cement removal during total hip revision surgery, experiments with an extracorporeal shock wave lithotriptor were camed out. High-energy shock waves (HESW) were focussed on discs of polymethylmethacrylate bone cement. The average discharge wa
The elastomeric copolymer acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) was added to a conventional acrylic bone cement matrix. The results obtained show that although strength and stiffness decreased with an increasing second phase volume fraction, ductility and toughness both increased. The crack propagat
## Abstract The composition of acrylic bone cement has been identified as one of the important parameters affecting its mechanical properties and may, in turn, ultimately influence the longevity of a cemented arthroplasty. Our aim in this study was to determine the influence of change of one compos
## Abstract Porousβfree, twoβsolution bone cements have been developed in our laboratory as an alternative to commercial powder/liquid formulations. Each pair of solutions consist of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) powder dissolved in methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer, with benzoyl peroxide (BPO)
