BACKGROUND: Orthopedic academics are committed to the modification of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) by adding different additives, including the promotion of curing agents, plasticizers, anti-water blood solvent, porogen, enhancer, or biological activity substance or drug compound to the CPC in order to enhance its physical and chemical and biological properties which is a research hotspot in the field. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of a biodegradable injectable CPC. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Duplicated testing study was performed at the National Key Laboratory, College of Materials, South China University of Technology from December 2008 to May 2009. MATERIALS: Calcium phosphate with partial crystallization and strontium phosphate and calcium hydrogen phosphate dehydrate with partial crystallization were added with modified starch and type I collagen to prepare a new type of self-injectable CPC. METHODS: CPC phase was analyzed using X'Pert Pro X-ray diffractometer; CPC morphology was observed using HITA2 -CHIH-800 transmission/scanning electron microscope; setting-up time was tested using Vicat apparatus according to A S TM C190203 standard; compressive strength was measured using Instron 5567 omnipotent electron apparatus; syringeability was detected using syringe apparatus with 1.6 mm of inside diameter; collapsibility was tested using soaking-shaking quantitative materials. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Phase component and microstructure of CPC products, setting-up time, syringeability, compressive strength, and collapsibility. RESULTS: The material coul be injected with an excellent performance, and the modified starch significantly improved the resistance of bone cement collapsibility. As the bone cement liquid-solid ratio increased, the compressive strength of cement decreased. When the bone cement liquid-solid ratio was 0.3, the compressive strength for cement was (48.0±2.3) MPa when the bone cement liquid-solid ratio was 0.6, the compressive strength of bone cement reduced to (21,0±2.5) MPa. Hydration productof cement-like bone hydroxyapatite crystallization also could be seen from the X-ray diffraction, due to the hydration of-cement was not complete, a baseline level of volatile explained fully hydrated conditions, suggesting that the bone cement could farther improve the compression strength. CONCLUSION: Developed an injectable strontium-contained collagen CPC is coincidence with the biomechanical strength of the human body and meets the requirements of the operation conditions.

BACKGROUND: The existing technique takes articular process and lateral mass as a reference mark. Due to differences of subjective judgment in operation and the impact of articular hyperplasia, some errors of screw entry point selection and serious complications such as vertebral artery or cervical spinal cord injury easily occurred, which limit the clinical application of the technique. At present, it is very important to select a constant reference mark of cervical pedicle screw entry point.OBJECTIVE: Three-dimensional reconstruction CT images were made to measure the relationship between the lower cervical pedicle screw entry point and the lateral concave between articular process.METHODS: Three-dimensional reconstruction of CT scan was performed in 30 patients with cervical deformity, and the occurrence rate and morphological characteristics of the lateral concave between articular process were observed. The following parameters were determined on specific reconstructed CT image of C3-C7: (1) the distance between pedicle axis projection point in the posterior surface and the outer edge of lateral mass in transversal section through bilateral pedicle axis and (2) the distance between the point and the lateral concave between articular process in oblique sagittal section through homolateral pedicle axis. Mean value and standard deviation were counted and statistics difference was compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The lateral concave between articular process in lower cervical vertebrae was a obvious and less constant proliferative anatomical landmark and its occurrence rate was 100%. (2) Using CT technology of 3D reconstruction, C3-C7 lower cervical transversal section through bilateral pedicle axis and oblique sagittal section through homolateral pedicle axis were successfully obtained. (3) In transversal section, the left and right distances between C3-C7 pedicle axis projection point in the posterior surface and the outer edge of lateral mass were (4.1±0.9)mm and (4.3±0.9) mm, and the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.609). Except for C3 and C7, C4 and C7,there was no significant difference in the measured values of the same side (P > 0.05). (4) In oblique sagittal section, the left and right distances between C3-C7 point and the lateral concave between articular process were (-0.3±1.7) mm and (-0.3±1.6) mm, and the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.916). Except for C3 and C4, there was significant difference in the measured values of the same side (P < 0.05). (5) The above results suggest that the lower cervical pedicle entry point and the lateral concave between articular process have a relatively constant orientation relationship in transversal section and a large variation in the sagittal section.
