RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Bone Cements: Review of Their Physiochemical and Biochemical Properties in Percutaneous Vertebroplasty JF American Journal of Neuroradiology JO Am. J. Neuroradiol. FD American Society of Neuroradiology SP 1286 OP 1290 VO 25 IS 7 A1 Provenzano, Matthew J. A1 Murphy, Kieran P. J. A1 Riley, Lee H. YR 2004 UL http://www.ajnr.org/content/25/7/1286.abstract AB Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an effective treatment for aggressive vertebral hemangiomas, osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, spinal metastases, and myelomas. As percutaneous vertebroplasty is more commonly performed to treat various forms of back pain, new or modified cements are being used. This review examines the physiochemical and biomechanical properties of various bone cements and additives.
