Notes:
The aim of this work was to assess the mixing, transfer and handling, properties,injectability, set time, wash-out characteristics, acceptance of hardware (i.e. stainless screws), andtheir delivery/transfer systems of self hardening synthetic bone cements made from calciumphosphate and calcium sulphate. Surgical procedures (i.e. cranioplasty) were performed on adultLabrador dogs using seven different bone cements from various manufacturers. Direct comparisonof the defined intraoperative properties were evaluated and recorded. There is considerablevariability with respect to application properties among commercially available injectable syntheticbone cements. Only one product was rated good to excellent in seven of the eight categoriesevaluated (6-excellent, 1-good, 1-fair) based on in-vivo tests. This study outlines the criticalparameters required for successful implantation of cements that have to be understood whendesigning new injectable bone cements for the future
