title: Principles of bone cement mixing.
abstract: This is the first in a series of four consecutive articles on bone cement mixing. It aims to bring to the perioperative practitioners' attention, all of the factors that will influence the quality and reproducibility of the bone cement they produce. The series will demonstrate how perioperative practitioners can have a direct influence on the successful long-term result of a hip or knee replacement.
