Low-Modulus PMMA Has the Potential to Reduce Stresses on Endplates after Cement Discoplasty

Cement discoplasty has been developed to treat patients with advanced intervertebral disc degeneration. In discoplasty, poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement is injected into the disc, leading to reduced pain and certain spinal alignment correction. Standard PMMA-cements have much higher elast...
