Abstract
In hip revision restricted to the acetabular component, the taper of a modular stem is in constant danger of scratching. We used a plastic syringe to protect the taper of the femoral component. A plastic syringe of appropriate size remains well in place and offers a novel and inexpensive protective device for the taper of the femoral component available in every operation room.
