Bone cement implantation syndrome: a scoping review
Authors' conclusion
Bone cement implantation syndrome is a potentially severe complication that can occur during both cemented and uncemented arthroplasty. Moreover, the occurrence of bone cement implantation syndrome is not dependent on the use of cement. However, the severity does seem to have an association with the fixation method.
