Abstract:
The quality of the cement layer influences the long-term survival of cemented endoprostheses. However, blood and fluid laminations within the cement layer, which can form during implantation of endoprostheses, lead to the deterioration of bone cement. Since the bone cement is the weakest part in the construction consisting of prosthesis, bone and bone cement, further weakening of the bone cement should be avoided if possible. By means of in vitro studies, three different cementing techniques were tested, measuring quantitatively the amount of fluid within the cement layer after implantation. The least amount of fluid within the cement layer was found in the cement-canal technique, and the highest amount in anterograde cement injection. Retrograde cement injection led to intermediate values.
