Bone Cement Characteristics
With the following videos you will learn more about the characteristics and special features of this material.
How do the different viscosities behave? What factors play a role in temperature development during curing?
Low Versus High Viscosity Bone Cement
Watch the different initial behaviour and handling times of different viscosities
Duration: 01:13 min.
Peak Temperature Depends on Surroundings
Understand why the peak temperature is lower in vivo: differences in temperature of bone cement when curing at room temperature versus curing in a water bath
Duration: 00:55 min.
Peak Temperature Depends on Size of Bone Cement Sample
Notice the difference in temperature of bone cement samples of different sizes
Duration: 02:28 min.
Bone Cement is Elastic
Watch that bone cement is not a stiff material but rather has a bending modulus comparable to that of subchondral bone
Duration: 00:34 min.
