“…Metal meshes have been used as surgical implants for a long time [30,31]. Although it has been reported that the combination of metal mesh with PMMA increases the tension force of the cement [41,50], the stresses in the PMMA are complex, and a difficult analysis of individual cases would be needed to ascertain whether the construct resistance increased.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
