With the development of highly-deviated well cementing techniques, rotating casing cementing technology has got more and more attention. The rotating casing technique can improve the displacement efficiency of cement paste, and then enhance the quality of well cementation. In the stuck section, the rotating casing can redress the well to make the casing run sequentially. The casing endures shea...

We analysed at a mean follow-up of 7.25 years the clinical and radiological outcome of 117 patients (125 knees) who had undergone a primary, cemented, modular Freeman-Samuelson total knee replacement. While the tibial and femoral components were cemented, the patellar component was uncemented. A surface-cementing technique was used to secure the tibial components. A total of 82 knees was availa...

BACKGROUND Modern cementing techniques have improved glenoid fixation, reduced glenoid lucency seen with keeled components, and may eliminate differences attributable to glenoid design. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of glenoid design on immediate and follow-up radiographic lucency of pegged and keeled glenoid components, using modern cementing techniques. MATERIAL AND ...

BACKGROUND Techniques of cemented total hip arthroplasty have developed over time. We present the outcomes of Charnley total hip arthroplasty performed using improved second- and third-generation cementing techniques. METHODS We reviewed the radiologic results of 91 Charnley total hip arthroplasties performed using second- and third-generation cementing techniques. Second-generation technique...

We retrospectively studied local recurrence of giant cell tumour in long bones following treatment with curettage and cementing in 137 patients. The median follow-up time was 60 months (3 to 166). A total of 19 patients (14%) had at least one local recurrence, the first was diagnosed at a median of 17 months (3 to 29) after treatment of the primary tumour. There were 13 patients with a total of...

We have evaluated the effect of vacuum aspiration of the iliac wing on the osseointegration of cement into the acetabulum. We entered a total of 40 patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty into two consecutive study groups. Group 1 underwent acetabular cement pressurisation for 60 seconds before insertion of the acetabular component. Group 2 had the same pressurisation with simultaneo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Very little has been published on the outcome of femoral cemented revisions using a third-generation cementing technique. We report the medium-term outcome of a consecutive series of patients treated in this way. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 92 consecutive cemented femoral revisions performed in our department with a third-generation cementing technique and ...
