چکیده
OBJECTIVE To compare the strength of polylactide-co-glycolide fiber-reinforced calcium phosphate bone cement (FRC) with nonreinforced calcium phosphate bone cement (NRC) subjected to simulated dural pulsations in defects larger than 25 cm(2). METHODS Seven NRC and 7 FRC specimens were set in both medium (37.5 cm(2)) and large (50.0 cm(2)) model skull defects while subjected to simulated dural pulsations. Specimens were removed after 24 hours and analyzed using 3-point flexural testing. RESULTS All 14 FRC specimens maintained structural integrity during extraction and testing. Only 2 of 7 (29%) medium specimens and 2 of 7 (29%) large NRC specimens survived setting. The mean (SD) energy to peak force (in newton millimeters [Nmm]) of the medium and large NRC specimens was 0.88 (0.83) and 3.00 (3.54) Nmm, respectively, compared with 28.97 (16.52) and 49.91 (38.10) Nmm for the medium and large FRC specimens. The material strength (in megapascals) of the medium and large NRC specimens was 0.17 (0.15) and 0.39 (0.33) MPa, respectively, compared with 3.73 (0.99) and 2.62 (1.34) MPa for the medium and large FRC specimens. The energy to peak force and material strength of the medium and large FRC specimens were significantly greater than for the corresponding NRC specimens; results were not statistically significant between medium and large FRC specimens. CONCLUSIONS Fiber-reinforced calcium phosphate bone cement exhibits superior structural integrity and material strength than NRC when subjected to unshielded simulated dural pulsations. Further studies are needed to evaluate the biophysical parameters of FRC in vivo.

Calcium phosphate cement augmentation of the femoral neck defect created after dynamic hip screw removal.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of reinforced calcium phosphate cement augmentation of the femoral neck defect created after dynamic hip screw removal in a cadaveric model. METHODS The lag screws of dynamic hip screw implants were inserted and subsequently removed in 8 matched pairs of cadaveric, osteoporotic femurs to create a femoral neck defect. One of each pair had the defect augmented ...

In this article 5-25 V% of a sol-gel bioglass fiber was incorporated into calcium phosphate bone cement to improve its mechanical properties. Compressive strength, work of fracture, elastic modulus and setting time of the cement were investigated as well as phase changes occurring during soaking the specimens in simulated body fluid (SBF). The cement microstructure was also observed by scanning...
متن کاملA novel strategy to enhance interfacial adhesion in fiber-reinforced calcium phosphate cement.
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are extensively used as synthetic bone grafts, but their poor toughness limits their use to non-load-bearing applications. Reinforcement through introduction of fibers and yarns has been evaluated in various studies but always resulted in a decrease in elastic modulus or bending strength when compared to the CPC matrix. The aim of the present work was to improve...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Poly(propylene fumarate) Reinforced Brushite Cement: Effects of Cement Composition and Powder to Liquid Ratio
Statement of Purpose: Calcium phosphate cements are prepared by mixing calcium phosphate powder with a liquid component to form a paste that hardens over time via a dissolution-precipitation reaction. Thus, in addition to being osteoconductive and resorbable, these biomaterials have the advantageous property of being injectable. This property can be leveraged for castingbased approaches to scaf...
