Abstract:
An experimental study of the tensile bonding strength of acrylic bone cement was carried out by using the tubular bones of 12 mongolian dogs. Following observations were made: 1. The later the cementing stage, the weaker was the tensile bonding strength of bone cement. 2. When saline or synovial fluid was interposed between the contact surfaces of the recipient bone and the cement, the tensile bonding strength of bone cement decreased by more than 50% of that when the bonding surface was dry. 3. When the bonded bone was stored in Hartmans solution, the tensile bonding strength of bone cement was reduced to 15–25% of the strength when stored in air.
