Mechanical properties of Palacos^® MV bone cements containing magnetic glass-ceramic particles.

ABSTRACT: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is the most used bone cement in orthopaedic surgery for the fixation of prosthetic components or filling bone defects. PMMA bone cements containing magnetic particles have been explored for the treatment of bone cancers using magnetic induction hyperthermia. In this study, different formulations of magnetic bone cements were developed by mixing up to 40 wt% of magnetic glass-ceramics with Palacos^® MV, a commercial PMMA bone cement with medium viscosity. Mechanical properties of these magnetic bone cements were investigated and compared to the non-magnetic commercial Palacos^® MV cement, which was used as control. Setting time, setting temperature, compressive strength, bending strength and bending modulus of these magnetic bone cements wer
