From: Hypothermic manipulation of bone cement can extend the handling time during vertebroplasty
The liquid time, paste time, and handling time of group 1 (room temperature, 22°C), group 2 (precooling), and group 3 (ice bath). The liquid time and paste time of the two cooling methods are significantly (* p<0.05) longer than those of the control group (room temperature, 22°C). The liquid time and paste time of the ice bath method are significantly longer than those of the precooling method (* p<0.05).
