Bone cement is a type of orthopedic device used to secure prosthetic implants to the bone. It is a polymer-based material that is mixed with a liquid and injected into the bone cavity. The cement hardens quickly, providing a secure bond between the implant and the bone. Bone cement is used in a variety of orthopedic procedures, including hip and knee replacements, spinal fusion, and fracture fixation. Bone cement is a critical component of orthopedic surgery, as it helps to ensure the stability of the implant and reduce the risk of implant failure. It also helps to reduce the risk of infection and improve the patient's recovery time. Bone cement is available in a variety of formulations, including acrylic, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and calcium phosphate. The bone cement market is a growing segment of the orthopedic device market. It is expected to experience steady growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing prevalence of orthopedic conditions and the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Some of the major companies in the bone cement market include Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Smith & Nephew, DePuy Synthes, and B. Braun. Show Less Read more
