Enhanced bone cement for fixation of prosthetic joint utilizing nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Bone cement is commonly utilized to secure prosthetic joints in the body because of its robust fixation, stability, biocompatibility, and immediate load-bearing capability. However, issues such as loosening, leakage, and insufficient bioactivity can lead to its failure. Therefore, improving its mechanical, physical, and biological properties is crucial for enhancing its efficiency. This study examines the impact of incorporating four different nanomaterials-Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂), Magnesium Oxide (MgO), Calcium Phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂), and Alumina Oxide (Al₂O₃)-into bone cement on its mechanical, physical, and biological properties. TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ nanoparticles are selected to enhance the comp
