Sacral insufficiency fracture is a debilitating injury for which no active treatment is currently available. We present three consecutive cases of elderly patients with sacral insufficiency fractures whose symptoms were relieved immediately by treatment of the fractures by polymethylmethacrylate injections, a so-called sacroplasty.

Nowadays, percutaneous vertebroplasty, or its evolution kyphoplasty, is a valid therapeutic option for the management of severe back pain, caused by vertebral compression fractures (1). They are minimally invasive, radiologically guided interventional procedures, which involve the injection of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) into the fractured vertebral body. The injection process was monitored c...

Objectives: To produce a systematic review regarding the effect of graphene-reinforced polymethylmethacrylate used in dentistry on mechanical properties. Methods: Electronic databases (Pubmed/MEDLINE, Web Science, Embase) were independently searched by two researchers for relevant studies published up to December 2021. An additional manual search was performed identify publications. The populat...
