摘要: The interventional radiological techniques of vertebroplasty (VP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) are widely used in cases where the pain secondary to compression fractures vertebral bodies is severe, persistent, refractory conservative treatments. In majority VP BKP cases, an injectable poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement different values powder-to-liquid monomer ratio (PLMR) used. A systematic study influence PLMR on relevant properties lacking. This was subject present study, with PMMA being experimental one whose radiopacity provided by iodine-containing compound powder. PLMRs used—1.54, 2.22, 3.08 g mL−1—are within range clinical reports BKP. One property curing cement, namely, polymerization rate at 37°C (k′), estimated using nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry results. fatigue lives (Nf) cured specimens were obtained under axial loading corresponding stresses (S) ±20.0, 15.0, 12.5, 10.0 MPa, a frequency 2 Hz. limit from fit S − Nf results Olgive equation. With increase PLMR, k′ increased significantly, but another also ln not significant. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part B: Appl Biomater,
