Paper deals with disintegration of bone cement by pulsating water jet. As a bone cements were used High Fatigue bone cement – Zimmer and PALACOS R+G ® . Samples were prepared by manual and vacuum mixing. Mechanical properties of samples were determined by measurement of micro hardness and nanoindentation. Both samples were subjected to pulsating water jet. Influence of pulsating water jet factors on volume removal rate was studied. Results will serve for deep understanding of pulsating water jet interaction and bone cement, in order to use results for possible surgery technique, for easy removal of cemented femoral stem from femoral channel during revised surgery.
