This controlled study compared the strength and porosity of 48 polymethylmethacrylate cement-implant constructs prepared with open bowl versus vacuum mix technique. Forty-eight blast finished stainless steel rods of 13 mm diameter were implanted with centralizers into 17-mm inner diameter tubes
In a cadaver study, we prepared 29 paired human cadaver femora using 3 different broaches of identical geometry but different surface characteristics. In one group of 20 pairs, preparation with chipped-toothed broaches was compared to diamond-shaped broaches; in the other

The outcome of a cemented hip arthroplasty is partly dependent on the type of cement which is used. The production of an interface gap between the stem and the cement mantle as a result of shrinkage of the cement, may

The solubility and phase behavior of poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBzMA) and poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) (P(St-co-MMA)) in a hydrophobic ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfone)imide ([C(2)mim][NTf(2)]), have been explored as a function of temperature. Although both polymers have solvatophobic phenyl groups and solvatophilic methacrylate
