title: Evaluation of the biocompatibility of polymers implanted into bone using titanium mosaic on bone cement.
abstract: A method for high-resolution study of the interaction of bone and polymeric materials is described. By creating a 'mosaic' surface of polymer and pure titanium, using the titanium as an internal control, the tissue influence of the polymer surface can be deduced.
