Calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA)-based apatite forming bone cements are well known for their bioactivity and bioresorbability. The formulation of CDHA-based cements with improved macroporosity,...
In this study, the effectiveness and use of bone cement are thoroughly elaborated, and the role of bone cement on percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) fixed joints and its distribution on PVP are also el...
Calcium silicate-based cement (CSC) has attracted much interest because of its favourable osteogenic effect that supports its clinical use. Although CSC has antibacterial activity, this activity still...
The aim of this study was to evaluate treatment efficacy of percutaneous injection of hydroxyapatite-osteoconductive-cement in patients with spinal aneurysmal bone cysts....
The study was designed as a retrospective observational clinical study. We included patients who were diagnosed with of spinal aneurysmal bone cyst, at our institution between 2013 and 2020, and treat...
Our study included nine patients, two children and seven adults. Three different types of approaches were applied: (single pedicle approach in 3 patients; double pedicle approach in 2 patients; while ...
Treatment of symptomatic spinal ABC's with hydroxyapatite cement is effective to achieve complete pain reduction and sclerosis....
The timing for resuming continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) postoperatively after skull base surgery remains controversial because of the risk of pneumocephalus. We determined the safety of imm...

Thirteen consecutive patients with CPAP-treated obstructive sleep apnea and temporal bone sCSF leaks who underwent skull base repair with hydroxyapatite bone cement between July 2021 and October 2022....
CPAP use resumed on postoperative day 1 after the confirmation of skull base reconstruction with temporal bone computed tomography (CT)....
Postoperative skull base defects on CT, pneumocephalus, or intracranial complications....
The average age was 55.5 ± 8.8 years (±standard deviation), and 69.2% were female with a BMI of 45.39 ± 15.1 kg/m 2 . Multiple tegmen defects were identified intraoperatively in 53.9% of patients with...
Immediate postoperative CPAP use is safe in patients undergoing MCF sCSF leak repair with bone cement because of the robust skull base repair....
To investigate the effect of the femoral component and tibial plateau component temperature on the strength of cement fixation during total knee arthroplasty (TKA)....
Femoral prosthesis, tibial plateau prosthesis, and polypropylene mold base were used to simulate TKA for bone cement fixation. Pre-cooling or pre-warming of femoral and tibial plateau components at di...
The push-out force of the femoral prosthesis after fixation was higher than that of the tibial plateau prosthesis, and with the increase of the prosthesis temperature, the push-out force after fixatio...
Without changing the mixing temperature and solidification temperature, the fixation strength of the femoral prosthesis is higher than that of the tibial plateau prosthesis. Properly increasing the te...
Antibacterial bone cements (ABCs), such as antibiotic-loaded bone cements (ALBCs), have been widely utilized in clinical treatments. Currently, bone cements loaded with vancomycin, gentamicin, tobramy...
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) presents a challenge in management due to its invasive nature and propensity for local recurrence. While either bone grafting (BG) or bone cement (BC) can be utilized t...
A random-effects model binary outcome meta-analysis was performed utilizing recurrence rate for the BC and BG groups to evaluate the risk ratio (p < 0.05 considered significant). There were 1,454 pati...
Intralesional curettage with BG had a recurrence risk ratio of 1.68 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-2.31, p = 0.001) when compared with BC. The overall rate of recurrence for GCTB after intralesio...
Intralesional curettage with BC for the treatment of GCTB demonstrated lower recurrence rates than intralesional curettage with BG. However, the rates of recurrence remain substantial for both groups,...
Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence....
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of incorporating chitosan (Ch) and chitosan oligosaccharides (ChO) into the commercially premixed antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC). We compa...
The bone cement samples used in this project were made from Copal® G+V composed of vancomycin and gentamicin. To prepare the Ch and the ChO mixed bone cement samples, different amounts of Ch and ChO w...
Bone cement samples made from Copal® G+V alone or combined with Ch or ChO can release vancomycin and gentamicin into the phosphate-buffered saline. Mixing ChO into the bone cements can increase the am...
Various attempts have been made to improve the ALBC efficacy. In our study, the best bone cement formulation was bone cement mixed with ChO (10%), which had the highest drug release profiles, was bioc...
Refobacin Bone Cement R and Palacos...
Overall, 75 patients were included in the study and 71 were available at two years postoperatively. Prior to surgery, they were randomized to one of the three combinations studied: Palacos cement with...
Median distal migration (y-axis) at two years for the Refobacin-Optivac system was -0.79 mm (-2.01 to -0.09), for the Refobacin-Optipac system was -0.75 mm (-2.16 to 0.20), and for the Palacos-Optivac...
At two years, we found no significant differences in distal migration or clinical outcomes between the three groups. Our data indicate that Refobacin Bone Cement R and Palacos...
