Experimental magnesium phosphate cement paste increases torque of trochanteric fixation nail advanced ™ blades in human femoral heads

This study shows for the first time the development of a degradable magnesium phosphate cement paste which fulfills the requirements for in-situ implant augmentation. Simultaneously, a 48% increase in stability is demonstrated for a scenario where implant anchorage is difficult in osteoporotic bone.
