A fluid cement for medical use for bone reconstruction, in particular for
filling the vertebral body, and a binary composition which is intended
for the preparation of such a cement. A device for conditioning the
binary composition, and a method of preparing a bone cement from a binary
composition. The fluid cement according to the invention comprises:
a) approximately 70% to 85% by weight of a polymer comprising a
polymethylmethacrylate and a methylmethacrylate monomer and
b) approximately from 15 to 30% by weight of a radio-opaque composition.
Preferably, the radio-opaque composition comprises a radio-opacifier,
such as barium sulphate and zirconium dioxide, in a mixture with a
calcium phosphate, for example apatite hydroxide.
