PRELIMINARY MECHANICAL TEST OF PROXIMAL FEMUR REINFORCEMENT WITH CEMENTED X-SHAPED PMMA.

Abstract:

Objective:To evaluate the mechanical behavior of the proximal end of the femur submitted to the X-shaped polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) reinforcement technique. Methods:Fifteen synthetic femurs, with a Nacional® density of 10 PCF, were divided into two groups: the DX group, with 5 units that were submitted to PMMA reinforcement, and the DP group, with 10 units, which were evaluated intact. The volume of PMMA required, the maximum load, and the absorbed energy to fracture were analyzed by means of a static mechanical bending test simulating a fall on the greater trochanter. Results:A mean of 6 ml of PMMA was used to model the X-reinforcement; it was observed that the DX group presented significantly higher maximum load (median = 1553 N, p = 0.005) and absorbed energy to fracture (median = 9.7 J; p = 0.050) than the DP group (median = 905 N and 6.6 J). Conclusion:X-reinforcement of the proximal end of synthetic femurs showed a statistically significant increase in the maximum load and absorbed energy to fracture in the mechanical assay when compared to the control group. Level of Evidence III, Experimental study. Objetivo:Avaliar o comportamento mecânico da extremidade proximal do fêmur submetido à técnica de reforço com polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) em forma de X. Métodos:Foram utilizados 15 fêmures sintéticos, com densidade de 10 PCF da Nacional®, divididos nos grupos DX, com 5 unidades submetidas ao reforço com PMMA, e DP com 10 unidades, avaliados com sua integridade intacta. Foram analisados o volume de PMMA necessário, os valores da carga máxima e a energia absorvida até a fratura por meio de ensaio mecânico estático de flexão, simulando queda sobre o trocanter maior. Resultados:Foram usados em média 6 ml de PMMA para a modelagem do reforço em X e observou-se que o grupo DX apresentou carga máxima (mediana = 1553 N; p = 0,005) e energia absorvida até fratura (mediana = 9,7 J; p = 0,050) significativamente maior que o grupo DP (mediana = 905 N e 6,6 J). Conclusão:O reforço em X da extremidade proximal de fêmures sintéticos apresentou incremento estatisticamente significativo da carga máxima e energia absorvida até a fratura no ensaio mecânico em comparação com o grupo controle. Nível de evidência III, Estudo experimental.
