## Abstract Fractures in the bone‐cement 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 fatigue‐resistant 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 load‐
## Abstract A device was constructed to test the inter‐facial strength of PMMA‐based bone cement and human cancellous bone under pure tension. Two types of tissue were used in the investigation: (1) formalin‐fixed vertebral bone as an __in vitro__ model for weak cancellous bone, and (2) freshly rem
## 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 Acrylic (polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA) bone cement was modified by the addition of high‐strength zirconia fibers with average lengths of 200 μm and diameters of 15 μm or 30 μm. A novel emulsion polymerization process was developed to encapsulate individual fibers in PMMA. Improvements
