Fig. 4From: Effect of storage temperature and equilibration time on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement polymerization in joint replacement surgeryDough time (s) at different storage temperatures and equilibration times. This graph shows the relationship between the mean doughing time (s) and storage temperature (°C) of the acrylic bone cement at various equilibration times. Note that at least 45 min was the required equilibration time of the cements stored at 24 and 28 °C for doughing time to be consistent with the controlBack to article page
