A quartz halogen lamp producing a 400- to 500-nanometer wave-length spectrum of visible light is used to polymerize high-molecular-weight acrylic resin monomers. While several in vitro<\/jats:italic> and in vivo<\/jats:italic> studies of visible light-curing resin are found in the dental literature, no studies have yet been performed to evaluate it as an intracorporeal implant in surgery.<\/jats:p>\nThe authors have designed a rat model of microcervical corpectomy to assess vertebral body replacement with visible light-curing resin in comparison to conventional autopolymerizing methyl methacrylate. Spinal cord function tests, spinal-implant stability assessments, and histological evaluations were made in a total of 41 rats at 2, 4, or 6 months postimplant. No animal developed a neurological deficit or radiographic instability, and at sacrifice there was no evidence of implant fracture-extrusion. In addition, there were no signs of adverse reaction in the surrounding tissues. Morphological investigation of the resin\/bone interface at 6 months revealed very good implant anchorage.<\/jats:p>\nVisible light-curing resin was found to be far superior to methyl methacrylate for construction of spinal implants. Its waxy consistency makes it easy to handle. It remains pliable until light is applied, allowing adjustments in shape for a well-fitted implant without time constraints. Applied in layers, adjustments can be made even after polymerization of a previous layer. This new implantable resin will allow safer, immediate stabilization in patients with neoplastic destruction of the spine, and may also be advantageous for other neurosurgical applications, such as cranioplasty.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1991.75.1.0091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,19]],"date-time":"2009-05-19T16:22:46Z","timestamp":1242750166000},"page":"91-96","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The
