| pubmed-article:2312531 | pubmed:abstractText | An in vitro total hip-arthroplasty model was evaluated to determine if centrifugation of bone cement results in greater static strength and low-cycle fatigue strength than hand-mixing. The static-failure test of the stem, cement, and simulated bone composite demonstrated that the centrifuged cement had significantly greater static strength than the hand-mixed cement. However, under low-cycle fatigue tests on the same composite models, the centrifuged and hand-mixed specimens were not significantly different. | lld:pubmed |
