Concerns have been reported to the United Kingdom National Patient Safety Agency, warning that cementing the femoral component during hip replacement surgery for fracture of the proximal femur may increase peri-operative mortality. The National Hip Fracture Database collects demographic and outcome data about patients with a fracture of the proximal femur from over 100 participating hospitals i...

Outcrops of the Lower Triassic (Spathian) Virgin Limestone Member (Moenkopi Formation) in the southwestern United States contain the oldest known metazoan bioherms formed in the aftermath of the endPermian mass extinction. These small buildups, up to 1.0 m in diameter and 0.2 m high, were constructed by cementing bivalves. The bivalve bioherms accreted in a shallow, subtidal environment above s...

Aseptic loosening remains the commonest cause of failure of total hip arthroplasty. Cement mantle defects are associated with aseptic loosening. Cementing technique has a profound influence on the incidence of aseptic loosening of total hip replacements. Two specific measures that seem to have the greatest impact on the longevity of cemented femoral stems are pressurization of cement and contro...

Available technical methods do not permit the fabri­ cation of dental restorations outside the mouth which will not expose the cementing medium to the influence of the oral fluids. Although meticulous craftsmanship may attain very high standards of marginal adap­ tation in such restorations the solubility and disinte­ gration of cementing media is still considered suffi­ ciently important to wa...

A comprehensive analysis of various types of cementing media used to cement various dental restorations such as crowns, bridges etc. are presented. Effects of various cementing media on the retention of dental post in the root canal have been estimated. The system is mainly consists of strain gauges mounted on a cantilever, a specially design amplifier, data acquisition system (ADC0809), Micro-...

We report a complication of contemporary cementing technique in total hip arthroplasty, that is, extensive retrograde filling with polymethylmethacrylate cement of the nutrient artery of the femur.
