Cement dam. A simple device to prevent cement extrusion.

D J Callahan, C K Safley

    Orthopedics
    |June 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    A simple technique using Penrose drains can prevent cement extrusion through cortical defects in total hip arthroplasty. This method enhances surgical outcomes and patient safety during the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common orthopedic procedure.
    • Cement extrusion through cortical defects is a potential complication during THA.

    Observation:

    • Cortical defects can allow the escape of bone cement into the surrounding tissues.
    • This extrusion can lead to adverse events and complicate the revision surgery.

    Findings:

    • Utilizing one or more Penrose drains is a simple and effective technique.
    • This method successfully prevents cement extrusion through cortical defects.

    Implications:

    • The Penrose drain technique offers a straightforward solution to a known complication.
    • Improved surgical safety and potentially better long-term outcomes in total hip arthroplasty.
    • This technique may reduce the incidence of cement-related complications and revision surgeries.
