Amphiphilic bonder improves adhesion at the acrylic bone cement–bone interface of cemented acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty: in vivo tests in an ovine model

摘要

Even following the introduction of the “third generation” cementing technique, an improvement of the fixation of the acetabular component similar to that of the femoral has not been shown in clinical studies. The goal of the present study was to achieve a better stability with the use of an amphiphilic bonder while preserving the mechanically important subchondral sclerosis.
