The third-generation modern cementing technique in hip and knee arthroplasty

Abstract

Implant loosening is the most common reason for revision surgery. Contribution of modern cementing technique to the long-term stability of an implant. Evaluation of the available evidence on modern cementing technique. Modern cementing technique in hip arthroplasty is considered established and leads to better cementing results. In knee arthroplasty, there are also specific recommendations, including intensive cleaning of the bone bed, mixing of bone cement under vacuum and application of bone cement to the implant and the bone. The use of modern cementing technique in hip and knee arthroplasty facilitates cementing, increases safety, and minimizes the risk of mechanical loosening.
