Polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) bone cement has been used in joint reconstruction surgery and recently introduced for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. However, the use of PMMA bone cement in vertebroplasty leads to extensive bone stiffening and high rate of adjacent vertebrae fracture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of PMMA bone cement augmented with collagen and assess its characteristics and relevance for the reduction of complication rate associated with vertebroplasty.Introduction
