Enhancing Proximal Femoral Pressure during Cemented Stem Insertion

Abstract: Occluding the calcar during stem insertion into cement achieves and sustains high intra-medullary pressures in both the proximal and distal femur. The highest pressures are obtained with stem insertion into Palacos-R at 4-4½ minutes after mixing, with proximal thumb occlusion. A horse-collar achieves slightly higher pressures with Simplex-P.

“…First, a collar provides a compressive force to the cement during impaction that may pressurize and improve the quality of the cement mantle. 35 Second, contact between the collar and calcar functions to limit or eliminate subsidence. Thus, collars are typically used with Type II designs or with some Type I stems designed to be cemented line to line.…”

“…The transition between cementation and stem insertion is a critical step that allows for an opportunity to further increase intramedullary pressure. Budnar et al assessed the impact of calcar occlusion on intramedullary pressure during stem insertion, comparing no occlusion, thumb occlusion, and use of a collar 130 . The authors noted higher pressures in proximal and distal segments with occlusion, with close results achieved between collar and thumb occlusion.…”
