This study aims at investigating the effect of application time of bone cement on the cement-bone interface strength in two types of commercially available bone cements, Cement-A and Cement-B. Cement-A and Cement-B were applied to cancellous bone specimens at two different times; 2 and 4 minutes (min). The bone specimens were formulated from bovine bone. Specimens were loaded to failure and the force at which the cement-bone interface failed was recorded. The shear strength of the cement-bone interface was calculated by dividing the force at failure by the cross-sectional surface area of the cement-bone interface.Purpose of the Study
