Suggests non-specific medullary pressurization triggers acute hypotension in animals; leaves open relevance to human cement implantation syndrome.
Does forcing acrylic bone cement, Plasticine, or soft paraffin wax into the medullary cavity of the femur affect blood pressure in rabbits and cats?
Insertion of acrylic bone cement and other substances into the medullary cavity causes an acute fall in blood pressure in animal models, providing insight into cardiovascular complications during human prosthetic hip surgery.
Pelling et al. (1973) studied this question. Forcing acrylic bone cement, Plasticine, or soft paraffin wax into the medullary cavity of the femur was evaluated on Blood pressure response. Forcing acrylic bone cement, Plasticine, or soft paraffin wax into the medullary cavity of the femur in rabbits and cats caused an acute fall in blood pressure within a few seconds of insertion.
