Interfacial strength of compression-molded specimens between PMMA powder and PMMA/MMA monomer solution-treated ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) powder

Abstract: The interface between bone cement and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been considered a weak link of cemented UHMWPE acetabular cup in total hip replacement (THR). For the improvement of this weak interface, adhesion between the UHMWPE acetabular cup and bone cement made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been investigated in our laboratory. Virgin UHMWPE powders were treated with methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer and PMMA/MMA solution. The treated UHMWPE powders were then compression-m… Show more

“…Effect of the coated PMMA concentration in the treated UHMWPE was also examined, with the above three variables kept constant. Details about preparations of the compression‐molded specimen and the interfacial tensile test can be seen in earlier publications 28, 29…”

“…Instead, the present method first conditions UHMWPE with methylmethacrylate‐ (MMA) monomer liquid, and then precoats them with the PMMA/MMA solution. The precoated UHMWPE powders are later compression molded with virgin UHMWPE or PMMA powder, which act as links for both PMMA and UHMWPE 28, 29…”

“…The principles and the basic concepts laid by Sir john Charnley remains the same. With advanced prosthesis and modern cementing techniques problems like femoral loosening have been reduced substantially [4] . Non cemented hip arthroplasty has taken over in the recent times and replaced conventional cemented total hip arthroplasty in young adults [5] , it has developed in response to evidence that cement debris play an important role in promoting bone lysis and loosening.…”

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] To improve these disadvantages, the several composite PMMA bone cements impregnated with organic or inorganic biomaterials have been prepared by using hydroxyapatite, 20 calcium phosphate, 21,22 carbon fibers, 23,24 graphite, 25 aramid, 26,27 bone particles, 28,29 titanium, 30 PMMA fibers, 31,32 and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber. 33 In the present study, we proposed development on the composite PMMA bone cement impregnated with UHM-WPE powder for the improvement of the poor mechanical and thermal properties of conventional PMMA bone cement.…”
