Abstract
Forty-six revision cemented femoral arthroplasties in which second-generation cementing techniques were used have been reviewed. After an average follow-up period of 8.8 years, 91% of the femoral components remained in place and 87% remained well fixed. Only 7% were rerevised for aseptic loosening. These results demonstrate a marked improvement over those of first-generation cementing techniques.
