Abstract
The effects of the surface finish of the femoral component on the cement mantle was studied in vitro after cyclic loading on a fully debonded model. Five pairs of fresh cadaver femora were implanted with cemented femoral components. In each pair, one side was treated with a rough surfaced implant and the other side with a polished component. Each specimen was loaded in the stair climbing position with a computer controlled testing system. Radiographs of the proximal femur were obtained before and after the complete load cycle. The implants were then removed from the proximal femurs, leaving the cement mantles intact. The specimens were sectioned and the surface of the cement mantle was analyzed with scanning electron microscopy.
