A New Technique for Placing Pedicle Screws Into Bone Cement‐Strengthened Vertebrae Involving Drilling and Melting

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 357-367, February 2026.
Experimental results demonstrate that both solid bone cement blocks and bone cement in a dispersed state within bone tissue can be screwed in after thermal softening of the bone cement through Kirschner wires, achieving a good pull‐out resistance. ABSTRACT Objective Vertebroplasty with non‐degradable polymethyl methacrylate bone cement is a common ...
