Some clinically relevant variables affecting the mechanical behaviour of bone cement

A J Lee et al. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg (1978). .

Abstract

The effects of 12 clinically relevant variables upon the basic mechanical properties of acrylic cement are reported. Attention is drawn to the facts that these variables may at times coexist to lead to serious reductions in the strength of the cement, and that the operating surgeon may exercise a substantial influence on the effective mechanical properties of the cement he is using.
