The aim of this work is to present a new approach to joint arthroplasty failure related to bone cement mantle. As barium sulphate is considered one of the main causes of mechanical weakness in the cement, we substituted this inorganic radiopacifier of the solid component for radiopaque monomers in the liquid component. We obtained two different cements, one containing 5 vol% 2-[2',3',5'-triiodobenzoyl] ethyl methacrylate (TIBMA) and the other containing 3,5-diiodine salicylic methacrylate (DISMA). In both cases, the mechanical properties of these new cements were better than those of the barium sulphate-containing cement. The radiopacity obtained was comparable to that of the aforementioned cement and all the samples showed good biocompatibility.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007455 Iodine A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically. Iodine-127,Iodine 127
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008689 Methacrylates Acrylic acids or acrylates which are substituted in the C-2 position with a methyl group. Methacrylate
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
