Electromagnetic induction disinfection applied to cemented knee arthroplasty implants: safety evaluation of potential changes in the bone cement
Spectroscopic techniques confirmed that PMMA only experienced minor structural changes after induction heating treatments. From a structural viewpoint, these results suggest that electromagnetic induction heating could be a safe disinfection technique for cemented implants in total knee arthroplasty.
