A Geometric Analysis of Polyethylene Liners Exposed to Acrylic-based Bone Cement

A Geometric Analysis of Polyethylene Liners Exposed to Acrylic-based Bone Cement

Background: Acrylic-based bone cement (polymethyl methacrylate [PMMA]) is a material commonly used in orthopaedic surgeries; however, during PMMA polymerization, a highly exothermic reaction occurs. The heat released in polymerization can damage nearby materials including poorly heat-resistant cross...
