Mechanical failure, bone cement

Topoleski, L. D. T., Ducheyne, P. Cuckler, J. M. (1995) The effects of centrifugation and titanium fiber reinforcement on fatigue failure mechanisms in poly(methyl methacrylate) bone-cement. Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 29, 299-307. [Pg.90]

In cemented total joint arthroplasties, acrylic bone cement functions as the piima ry load bearing material used to transfer loads from the implant to the bone. Bone cement Is formed from an exothermic reaction of benzoyl peroxide initiator present In polymethylmethacrylate powder (PMMA) and AI,AI-dimethyl-p-tolui-dene In methylmethacrylate monomer liquid (MMA), resulting in polymerization of PMMA to form a solid cement matrix. The in vivo integrity and performance of bone cement Is necessary for longevity of orthopedic implants, because it is believed that mechanical failure of the bone cement layer can lead to aseptic loosening of the Implant [101]. [Pg.89]
