A novel anti-washout curing solution of calcium phosphate cement prepared via irradiation polymerization

Abstract

The anti-washout ability of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) determines its effectiveness in clinical application. In the current research, the common method to improve the anti-washout ability of CPC is to...

Bone Cements Used in Vertebral Augmentation: A State-of-the-art Narrative Review

“…Further improvements to properties such as porosity and compressive strength are imperative to improve the formula to the point where it could be used in the treatment of VCFs. 59 Future evaluation could explore variations in the mGBN concentration to ascertain its effects on the properties of the bone cement.…”

“…A novel CPC formulated by Ahmed El-Fiqi et al is an α-TCP cement with the incorporation of bioactive nanocomponent, mesoporous bioactive glass (mBGn). The major advantages of mBGn addition include a high mesoporosity, which makes it an excellent protein/drug delivery system and the release of Si ions that stimulate cellular growth and 58,59 This novel formulation improved the injectability of CPCs, which is a major advantage compared to most CPCs and helps to decrease intraoperative complications associated with cement extravasation. In comparison to other CPCs, this formula had a decreased setting time, higher surface area, and enhanced degradability.…”
