Tree Number(s): D05.750.716.822.300; D25.720.716.822.300; D27.720.102.158; J01.637.051.720.716.822.300
Unique ID: D001843
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001843
Annotation: coordinate with specific material if relevant
Scope Note: Adhesives used to fix prosthetic devices to bones and to cement bone to bone in difficult fractures. Synthetic resins are commonly used as cements. A mixture of monocalcium phosphate, monohydrate, alpha-tricalcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate with a sodium phosphate solution is also a useful bone paste.
