## Abstract Previously reported antibioticโimpregnated cement strengths have been based on uniaxial and fatigue testing methodologies. These methods may not provide an accurate characterization of bone cement's true loadโbearing capacity in total joint replacement (TJR). The present study utilized

## 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 37ยฐC for 48 h, the specimens were tested in fourโpoint bending.
## Abstract The thrust of the present work was the experimental determination of the uniaxial static compressive and fully reversed tensionโcompression fatigue properties of CMW^TM^ 3 acrylic bone cement whose consituents were mixed in a properietary chamber while simultaneously subjected to a vacu
## Abstract Admixing of several antibiotic powders which were insoluble in methyl methacrylate did not decrease the compressive and diametral tensile strengths of two acrylic bone cements when tested after setting for 1 day and after leaching 40 days in water at 37ยฐC. When antibiotics were added as
