What Is Modern Cementing Technique?

  • Chapter
The Well-Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty

Summary

This chapter gives an overview of cementing technique evolution and defines the current status of modern cementing techniques. Modern cementing techniques aim to improve the mechanical interlock between bone and cement in order to establish a durable interface. The use of distal plug, cement gun, pulsatile lavage and cement pressurising devices have been shown to significantly improve long-term outcomes.
