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
Materials and methods
A common complication whilst harvesting the hamstring tendon in ACL reconstruction is injury to the infra-patellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN), resulting in altered sensation to the anterior and lateral aspects of the knee and leg. The aim of this study was to understand the course of IPBSN in relation to tendon harvest in ACL reconstruction.Introduction
