Abstract
Long-term outcome from cemented acetabular components has been correlated with the presence of radiolucency on early postoperative radiographs. We describe a means for enhancing acetabular bed preparation to decrease blood at the bone-cement interface and to obtain better pressurization of the cement into the cancellous bone of the acetabulum during cemented acetabular component insertion.
