The successful use of acrylic cement in joint replacement was one of Sir John Charnley's contributions in 1958. Polymethylmethacrylate is part of a group of polymers which have a carbon base in common, with different lengths in their chain. There are generations of polymethylmethacrylate going from the first, in which the cement was mixed and packed manually in the medullary canal and the acetabulum without rhyming, to the third in which aspiration and pressurization of the femoral canal, mixing and centrifugation techniques, and implant modifications. The use of cement was an important advance in hip arthroplasty, however, as its history and use progressed, the failures of the prostheses were attributed to what is known as “cement disease”. Taking into account this and the complications that its use could cause, the safety and operation of this technique began to be questioned. However, the cemented components show good long- term results, making it clear that there is no basis for ceasing the use of cement in arthroplasties. Likewise, it was observed that cemented implants have better results in terms of review rate and periprosthetic fractures. This concludes that the use of cement, under certain indications and appropriate techniques, represents an excellent option for the fixation of implants used in joint replacemen.
