The evolution of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based bone cement (BC) from plexiglass to a biomaterial has revolutionized the joint and vertebral arthroplasties field. This widely used grouting material possesses exceptional properties for medical applications, including excellent biocompatibility, impressive mechanical strength, and favorable handling characteristics. PMMA-based BC is preferred in challenging conditions such as osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, scoliosis, vertebral hemangiomas, spinal metastases, and myelomas, where it is crucial in withstanding stress.
