Abstract:
A technique is described for cementing of the patellar component in total knee arthroplasty that involves pressurization of cement into the patellar-component lug holes, which are drilled in the bone prior to cementing the component. A radiographic comparison of cement penetration with this method versus that obtained by using conventional techniques is illustrated.
