title: Methylmethacrylate seeks an appeal.
abstract: We measured hemodynamic and respiratory parameters before and after applying methylmethacrylate (MMC) to acetabular and femoral sites during neuroleptanesthesia and prosthetic hip surgery. No significant major changes were documented. Previously reported adverse effects probably have been due to medullary emboli, humoral responses, or a negative action of MMC on the cardiovascular system when used in conjunction with a potent inhalation anesthetic agent.
