Abstract
A method for molding bone cement to a prosthetic implant in which a cement mixture absent any amine initiators is molded about the implant and polymerization is initiated by exposing the cement mixture to a radiation source. The method eliminates the manufacturing timing problems of molding a polymerizing bone cement mixture to an implant.
