PALACADEMY^® Experimental Videos

The polymerisation of bone cement takes place in four consecutive phases: mixing phase - sticky phase - application phase - setting phase. The videos in this section show in a very concrete and practical way how the surgical team can recognise when the respective processing phase is finished and what needs to be considered when cementing prostheses.

With the following videos you will learn more about the characteristics and special features of this material. 
How do the different viscosities behave? What factors play a role in temperature development during curing?

Bone Cement is primarily used for mechanical anchorage of implants into the bone. The experiments illustrate how bone cement mechanically anchors the prosthesis in the cancellous bone and why it is not a glue.

Antibiotics in bone cement have been in use for many decades. 
But how does the release of antibiotics from bone cement work and what should be considered when using it?

You will find practical tips for safe application when handling bone cement: At what point is it possible to apply the cement? Why do some users prefer cooled bone cement?

Joint replacement with bone cement has undergone significant improvements over time. These videos show in which ways the use of modern cementing techniques is a decisive factor for sustainable patient care.

Calcium phosphate based paste is a resorbable bone substitute material for the filling of non-infected bone defects. The videos give an impression on behaviour and features of the material: How does it behave? How can it be applied? How does the material harden? And how does it look like after setting?
