    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Achieving a stable cement-bone interface is crucial for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty.
    • Current methods may involve foreign materials or extensive pre-fitting, potentially increasing complications and surgery time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of using autologous cancellous bone to plug the femoral canal before methylmethacrylate insertion.
    • To determine if this technique improves the cement-bone interface and reduces surgical complexity.

    Main Methods:

    • The femoral canal is packed with cancellous bone autograft obtained from the femur.
    • Methylmethacrylate bone cement is then inserted under pressure to create the interface.
    • Cancellous bone impactors are utilized for graft placement.

    Main Results:

    • This technique creates an excellent cement-bone interface without the need for foreign materials or pre-fitting.
    • The autologous bone graft adapts to various canal sizes, simplifying the procedure.
    • The method has been successfully employed in over 400 cases across six years with no reported complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Plugging the femoral canal with autologous cancellous bone is a safe and effective method for enhancing cement-bone integration in hip arthroplasty.
    • This technique does not increase operative time and offers significant advantages over traditional methods.
