  SILVER NANO DOTS FUNCTIONALIZED BONE CEMENT FOR ORTHOPAEDIC MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
  Author(s): A.G.J.Patricia* and M.Uma Devi mahalingm
  
  The latest development in orthopaedics is the advent of silver nano particles and their applications in nano medicine. Silver nano dots in the size range of ≤ 20 nm can be studied to analyze their usage in the field of orthopaedics. They can be used in bone cement which are used as artificial bpne replacement. Bone cements have been used very successfully to anchor artificial joints like hip joints, knee joints, shoulder and elbow joints in suffering patients in the field of ortho paedic medicine. Polymethyl methacrylate loaded with nanosilver is being considered as bone cement as the nano silver can induce very high antimicrobial activity essential for the killing of infectious microorganisms known for their anti-resistance to currently available antibiotics and antiseptics.The free space between the bone and the prosthesis is filled with bone cement which acts like a elastic buff..
