Bone cement is a kind of bone cement, mainly used in artificial joint replacement, lumbar vertebral fracture, osteoporotic fracture and other surgeries, to fix the prosthesis or bone to prevent loosening.
Bone cement is a kind of medical material used in orthopedic surgery, its main component is polymethyl methacrylate, some of its physical properties and appearance after solidification is very similar to the cement used in construction, so it is called “bone cement”.
Bone cement is mainly used in artificial joint replacement, lumbar vertebral fracture, osteoporotic fracture and vertebral body molding surgery for various reasons leading to vertebral body destruction, the most important feature is that it can be fixed quickly, and can be used for rehabilitation activities on the ground at an early stage after surgery.
Bone cement also has shortcomings, among which leakage is the most common problem, which may cause high pressure in the bone marrow cavity when filling, resulting in fat droplets entering blood vessels and causing embolism.
The use of bone cement in orthopedic surgery should be determined according to the specific condition of the patient, and the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor and carry out standardized treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
