Influence of the cementing technique on the cement mantle in hip resurfacing: an in vitro computed tomography scan-based analysis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: The cement mantle within a hip resurfacing head is important for implant survival. Too much cement leads to thermal bone necrosis, whereas not enough cement might cause mechanical failure and particle-induced osteolysis. We evaluated the impact of different cementing techniques on the quality of the cement mantle in hip resurfacing.
