Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for predicting the action state of a curable bone cement component. SOLUTION: The method for predicting the action state of the curable bone cement component measures the impedance of the curable bone cement component. A plurality of the action states of the bone cement component, including the timing at the end of an action and the timing at an end of curing are predicted, by using the measured impedance. When the bone cement is used in treatment in orthopedic surgery, the timing at the end of the action and the timing at the end of curing are detected, the acoustic signal and visual signal perceived by humans are generated so as to inform humans.
