Abstract
In all bone augmentation procedures such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, the cement plays a key role. However, until a few years ago very little had been done to optimize the properties of the cement; in fact, very little had been done to understand which properties the cement should have. The aim of the present manuscript is first to give a general introduction to cements, mostly PMMA and CPC, and second to review the most recent findings in the field.
