The influence of cementing technique in hip resurfacing arthroplasty on the initial stability of the femoral component

摘要

Purpose In clinical and retrieval analyses, over-penetration of cement, incomplete seating of the prosthesis with a resultant polar cement mass, or both, have been associated with early femoral failures of resurfacing arthroplasties. We used human bone specimens to experimentally compare the initial stability of different cementing techniques.
