## Abstract The procedure percutaneous vertebroplasty consists of injecting polymethylmethacrylate cement into vertebral bodies for the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures and tumors of the spine. Clinicians practicing vertebroplasty commonly alter the mixture of monomerβtoβpowder recom

## Abstract In all but one of the acrylic bone cement brands used in cemented arthroplasties, __N__,__N__βdimethylβ4βtoluidine (DMPT) serves as the activator of the polymerization reaction. However, many concerns have been raised about this activator, all related to its toxicity. Thus, various work
It has been shown that preheating the femoral stem prior to insertion minimizes interfacial porosity at the stem-cement interface. In this study, the effects of methylmethacrylate monomer temperature prior to mixing on the properties of stem-cement interface and cement polymerization were evaluated
In all acrylic bone cement formulations in clinical use today, radiopacity is provided by micron-sized particles (typical mean diameter of between about 1 and 2 microm) of either BaSO(4) or ZrO(2). However, a number of research reports have highlighted the fact that these particles have deleterious
## Abstract It has been suggested in the literature that a lower polymerization rate of an acrylic bone cement is favorable for the __in vivo__ longevity of a cemented arthroplasty. The present work was a study of the influence of three changes in the composition of an acrylic bone cement (when tak
## Abstract Although antibioticβloaded bone cement (ALBC) is used as a drug delivery vehicle to decrease infection rates, the varied clinical effect of the antibiotic release remains controversial. The objective of this study is to investigate the enhancement of continuous wave ultrasound (CWU) on
