Experimental Drillable Magnesium Phosphate Cement Is a Promising Alternative to Conventional Bone Cements

Clinically used mineral bone cements lack high strength values, absorbability and drillability. Therefore, magnesium phosphate have recently received increasing attention as they unify a mechanical performance with presumed degradation in vivo. To obtain drillable cement formulation, farringtonite (Mg3(PO4)2) oxide (MgO) were modified the setting retardant phytic acid (C6H18O24P6). In pre-testing series, 13 different compositions of analyzed concentrating on clinical demands for application. Of these composites, two formulations content (22.5 wt% 25 wt%) identified to meet demands. Both evaluated terms time, injectability, compressive strength, screw pullout tests biomechanical clinically relevant fracture model. The filler metaphyseal defect alone, combination screws drilled through cement. achieved time 5 min 30 s an injectability 100%. Compressive was shown be ~12–13 MPa overall displacement reduced <2 mm without screws. Maximum load until failure ~2600 N only ~3800 Two new revealed test set-ups add desired characteristics its such
