Abstract:Polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) is an artificial resin that has a wide application in a number of medical disciplines, surgery included. The use of acrylate is limited due to its modest mechanical features. Hence in this study, as an 'in vivo' experiment on dogs, the usefulness of 'reinforced acrylate' in the form of armored acrylate plates in the surgery of fractured ribs in flail chest has been valued. In earlier studies we have shown that polymethylmetacrylate, when reinforced with non-alkaline glass fibers, h… Show more
