A method for producing a bioactive bone cement and a bone cement kit for
anchoring artificial joints and for filling out bone defects. The method
avoids polymerization-linked by-products and disadvantageous effects,
while at the same time providing the bone cement with long-term
stability. The inventive method uses a monomer-free
polymethylmethacrylate, which is mixed with a suitable non-toxic solvent,
and a bioactive, vitreous-crystalline material with a particle size
ranging from >20 to 200 .mu.m, having 15 45 wt. % CaO, 40 45 wt. %
P.sub.2O.sub.5, 10 40 wt. % ZrO.sub.2 and 0.7 3.5 wt. % fluoride, having
apatite and calcium zircon phosphate as main crystal phases and a glass
phase as an auxiliary component until a flowable mixture is obtained. The
invention also relates to a bone cement kit having said components.
