Stereomicroscopic images. Better interdigitation of the humid CPC and seamless interdigitation of the MPC: Regarding augmented tibial head depression fractures under a stereomicroscope, a low interdigitation with a visible gap to the spongiosa could be seen for the CPC when stored under dry conditions (a). In contrast, under humid storage conditions, the interdigitation for the same cement seemed to improve remarkably, showing no gap (b). A full interdigitation to the nearby spongiosa up to the reduced fracture fragment was detected for the MPC (c).
