Variations in the density of bone cement after centrifugation.
Because centrifugation might make a clinically significant change in the distribution of barium sulfate, this process was studied. Radiolucent and radiopaque SimplexP bone cement (Howmedica, Inc., Rutherford, New Jersey) were mixed with and without cooling and centrifuged for two or four minutes at 2,000 g or 1,000 g (gravity acceleration).
