## Abstract Fractures in the boneβcement mantle (polymethyl methacrylate) have been linked to the failure of cemented total joint prostheses. The heat generated by the curing bone cement has also been implicated in the necrosis of surrounding bone tissue, leading to loosening of the implants. The a
## Abstract A tougher, more fatigueβresistant bone cement consisting of short, highmodulus carbon fibers dispersed randomly in normal poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement has been developed. Fatigue and impact tests are reported that demonstrate the superior fracture resistance and prolonged loadβ
