Recursos en línea: Resumen: The vital first phase of the overall materials study to protract the life of the total joint replacements is the identification of the fracture toughness and fatigue properties of bone cements. Information gained from fatigue testing, performed in a manner which simulates in vivo conditions, and fracture toughness, which is a measure of the propensity of a crack to propagate, is the first step towards the prediction of the life of the total joint replacement. This study is concerned with the fracture toughness of Zimmer and Simplex-P cold-curing bone cements. Following cement fabrication conditions which closely approximate clinical procedures, fracture toughness testing was conducted on cement specimens which were immersed in bovine serum a t 37°C in order to simulate in vivo conditions. In addition, a similar study was completed on specimens, tested in air at ambient temperature for purposes of comparison. Results of this procedure, when analyzed by a Student's t-test at the 95
