Laboratory results that support the wisdom of pressurizing PMMA
cement into well-cleaned cancellous beds.
9. Hench LL, Ethridge EC: Biomaterials: An Interface Approach .
Academic Press, New York, 1982.
A concise discussion of fixation (p. 244-252). Deals with “bioactive”
surfaces; Hench invented one of the principle systems of such materials.

including pressurization. Comprehensive bibliography.

Useful account by Willert, who originally proposed a model of osteoly-
sis arising from cellular response to wear debris.
