Abstract

Bone cement (BC) is widely used in different orthopedic surgeries like prosthetic, osteoporotic fracture surgery and joint replacement surgeries. The two types of BC that are used most frequently are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and calcium 
phosphate-based cement (CPC). Although useful in practice, BC emits poisonous gases during preparation and if in contact with patients or healthcare workers, results in respiratory, dermal and cardiovascular harms.
