Experimental Evaluation of the Anchoring Efficiency of Bone Cement under Various Conditions,and Improved Cementing Techniques and Instrumentations for Total Hip Replacement
Viscoelastic properties of acrylic bone cement were studied by using a simplified controlled laboratory model simulating a component cementing in total hip replacement surgery. This study also dealt with improved cementing techniques developed through these experimental studies.
