  • Title: The scientific basis of cement versus cementless fixation.
    Author: Freeman MA, Tennant R.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1992 Mar; (276):19-25. PubMed ID: 1311226.
    Abstract:
    The arguments for and against three implant materials (polymethylmethacrylate, cobalt-chrome alloy, and titanium aluminium vanadium alloy) when used as interfaces between a loaded implant and bone are reviewed from mechanical and biologic standpoints. It is concluded that there is neither an overwhelming advantage nor a disadvantage for any one of them.
