Bone-particle-impregnated bone cement: an in vitro study.

Bone-particle-impregnated bone cement specimens (up to 30% by weight) were characterized by various test methods. The experimental bone cement showed decreased crack propagation rates and increased Young's modulus, while the ultimate tensile strength and impact strength were decreased. The viscosity could be adjusted by adding initiators lost when substituting the PMMA powder with bone particles. The present study warranted further in vivo experiments on the possibility of tissue ingrowth for which the new bone cement was developed.
