| pubmed-article:17023189 | pubmed:abstractText | Analogous to vertebroplasty, cement-augmentation of the proximal femur ("femoroplasty") could reinforce osteoporotic bones. This study was to evaluate (i) the feasibility of femoroplasty with a composite cement (Cortoss), (ii) its influence on femoral strength by mechanical testing and (iii) the feasibility of stable osteosynthesis of the augmented fractured bones. | lld:pubmed |
