1. A method for providing operational information concerning a bone cement, comprising:

  • providing a bone cement kit comprising;

    two packages having two different bone cement precursors, and at least one temperature sensor affixed to one of the packages of bone cement precursors,wherein the one of the packages having the at least one temperature sensor affixed thereto contains a first bone cement precursor having a first pre-mix temperature that changes at a slower rate compared to a second pre-mix temperature of a second bone cement precursor, andwherein the at least one temperature sensor comprises a temperature strip that provides visual indication of the sensed temperature;

    mixing the bone cement precursors to provide a bone cement; and

    determining a bone cement injection start time based on the first pre-mix temperature sensed by the at least one temperature sensor.
