Local Mechanical Properties of Various Bone Cements

Abstract:

Various bone cements with different compositions were prepared in several model configurations which differed in volume (i.e. setting temperature profile) and mode of mixing (manual and vacuum bowl). Local mechanical properties (nanohardness, elasticity modulus) of all experimental states were measured by nanoindentation technique and compared. Role of the preparation route as well as influence of composition, particularly of presence of antibiotics, on the measured properties was investigated.
