Introduction to Modern Cementing Technique

The goal of Modern Cementing Technique in general is to improve both the long-term properties of the cement itself and the cement-bone interface.

Bone cement Antibiotic loaded bone cement reduces the risk of infection in both primary and revision operations.
Bone bed preparation - Clean bone bed The use of brushes and high-pressure pulse lavage improves bone cement interface and prevents haemodynamic circulatory changes.
Mixing & Delivery - High and reproducible bone cement quality Mixing and collection of bone cement under vacuum reduces the porosity and improves the fatigue strength of the cement.
Pressurization - Good cement filling Acetabular and femoral pressurization, distal plugs, and a stem centralizer improve bone cement interface and yield good stress distribution.
Safe working environment The importance of a safe working environment cannot be over-estimated. A closed mixing and delivery system and protective gloves reduce environmental, skin and air exposure to bone cement.
