Mechanical versus manual mixing of bone cement.
Conventional mixing of three different bone cements (CMW, Simplex P, and Zimmer LVC) was compared with a mechanical technique with respect to porosity and density. Density was increased in all the mechanically mixed cements, and the percentage porosity was diminished for CMW and Simplex P.
