MATERIALS: The new material consists of polystyrene beads coated in a polymerizing substance that when dampened, hardens within 10 min. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: It has a density of less than a tenth of that of water and so is light-weight, a CT number of less than -800 and a minimal effect on the build-up of megavoltage photon beams.
A case of divergent dislocation of the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints is reported. The injury resulted from a high-energy trauma and was treated by closed reduction and cast immobilization for 4 weeks. Evaluation at the 26-month follow-up visit showed good radiographic and functional results.
