Original Abstract

Bone cements can be defined as biomaterials obtained by mixing a powder phase and a liquid phase, which can be molded and implanted as a paste and can set once implanted within the body. They are widely used in different applications of orthopedic surgery. The possibility of injecting them extends their use to minimally invasive surgical techniques. The chapter describes the two main families of bone cements, namely, acrylic bone cements and calcium phosphate bone cements. The basic physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of these two types of bone cement are reviewed and the most relevant clinical applications are described.
