Abstract:
A polymethylmethacrylate bone cement is produced by a method. The method comprises the steps of a) providing a cement powder comprising: at least one particulate polymethylmethacrylate or polymethylmethacrylate-copolymer wherein the at least one particulate polymethylmethacrylate or polymethylmethacrylate-copolymer have a particle size of less than 100 μm; an initiator; and at least one particulate or fibrous additive that is insoluble in methylmethacrylate, wherein the additive has an absorption capacity at room temperature of more than or equal to 0.6 g methylmethacrylate per gram of additive; b) providing a monomer solution comprising: at least one methylmethacrylate; and at least one activator; and c) mixing the cement powder and the monomer solution, characterised in that the mixing takes place without the application of shearing forces.
