Modified PMMA bone cement and preparation method thereofTechnical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, in particular to modified PMMA bone cement and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Polymethyl methacrylate bone cement (PMMA bone cement) is a bone filling and bonding material commonly applied in the current orthopedic clinical operation, has excellent plasticity, biological safety and mechanical strength, and is widely applied to vertebroplasty and joint replacement. However, PMMA bone cement is a biologically inert material, has no bioactivity and is not degradable, and further development of the PMMA bone cement is limited by overhigh exothermic temperature in the process of solidification polymerization and cytotoxicity of monomers. In order to increase the biological activity of PMMA bone cements, it is possible to add to PMMA active components, such as: the patent CN201410541808.0 discloses an akermanite/PMMA composite bone cement with an osteogenesis inducing function and a preparation method thereof, wherein high-content akermanite powder maintains good mechanical properties of the bone cement, reduces polymerization temperature, improves bioactivity and biocompatibility of the bone cement, and can actively induce osteogenesis due to the contained elements of magnesium and silicon. However, the addition of akermanite ceramic particles can cause the plasticity of the PMMA high polymer bone cement to be reduced and the brittleness to be increased, which is not favorable for the biomechanical properties of the PMMA bone cement.
The bioactive ceramic has good bioactivity and can be widely used for artificial bones, artificial joints, artificial dental implants and the like, and part of the bioactive ceramic has the characteristic of biodegradation and absorption and can induce the growth of new bones in organisms. However, the mechanical strength of the bioactive ceramics is poor, and the brittleness of the ceramics limits the application of the bioactive ceramics on the bearing part of the human body. For example: patent CN201910472814.8 discloses a method for manufacturing a magnesium phosphate bioceramic functional gradient bone regeneration scaffold, wherein a functional gradient scaffold material is prepared by taking magnesium phosphate (MgP) bioceramic as a scaffold through a 3D printing technology and is used for bone defect regeneration and repair, and a porous scaffold can play a role in promoting bone defect regeneration and repair. However, the brittleness of the magnesium phosphate bioceramic is incapable of being used in a load-bearing part, and the mechanical strength of the magnesium phosphate bioceramic is ineffective along with degradation, so that the biological function of the magnesium phosphate bioceramic is seriously influenced.
Therefore, a new modified PMMA bone cement is to be developed to overcome the disadvantages of the existing PMMA bone cement and the modified bone cement.
