Cement Venogram—A Risk of Satisfactory Cement Pressurization
McClelland, Damian; Bracy, DavidHip
Longevity of cemented femoral components is dependent upon many factors. It is certainly related to the cementing technique. A dilemma exists between adequate cement pressurization and risk of embolic events. A cementation pressure above bleeding pressure, to allow optimum cement bone interdigitation but not high enough to produce embolic or cardiorespiratory events, is the ideal situation. We present a case where cement pressurization resulted in the appearance of a cement venogram on the routine postoperative x-ray.
