Abstract
Cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become an extremely successful operation with excellent long-term results. Although showing decreasing popularity in North America, it always remained a popular choice for elderly patients in Europe and other parts of the world. Previous and recent studies presented excellent long-term results for cemented fixation of the cup as well as the femoral stem. Besides optimal component orientation, a proper cementing technique is of major importance to assure longevity of implant fixation. Consequently a meticulous bone bed preparation assures the mechanical interlock between the implant, cement, and the final bone bed.
