[Acrylic cement in the osteosynthesis of pathological fractures]. 1977

G Boero, and E Serale, and R Colombari

After outlining the problem of pathological fractures in patients suffering from malignant tumours, a recent acrylic cement osteosynthesis technique is presented. This makes immediate immobilization of the fracture possible, alleviation of pain and so early use of the fractured extremity. The personal series is illustrated and it is concluded that the technique also offers suitable prophylaxis when radiography of the skeleton points to osteolytic areas in which pathological fracture can be foreseen.

D001843 Bone Cements Adhesives used to fix prosthetic devices to bones and to cement bone to bone in difficult fractures. Synthetic resins are commonly used as cements. A mixture of monocalcium phosphate, monohydrate, alpha-tricalcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate with a sodium phosphate solution is also a useful bone paste.
