Modern
Cementing Technique
For improved clinical outcome.1-3
Modern Cementing Technique (MCT) is a standardized and proven
procedure.1-3 The objective of MCT in facilitating long
term implant stability is to optimize cement quality and the
interfaces between both Implant-Cement and
Cement-Bone.4-5

Specifications
Implant-Cement Interface
- Deliver the cement with a cement gun, and appropriate delivery devices, such as knee nozzles
- Apply bone cement to implant first, as early as possible in the sticky phase 4,6*
- Prevent implant-cement interface contamination by implementing a “no-touch” policy 4
Bone Cement
- Use a bone cement with good mechanical and consistent handling properties
- Mix and collect the cement under vacuum to reduce cement porosity and to improve mechanical strength7-9*
Cement-Bone Interface
- Perforate cancellous bone if dense or sclerotic10
- Clean with high pressure pulsatile lavage repeatedly until clear fluid is received in the return line11-13
- Deliver the cement with a cement gun and appropriate delivery devices, such as knee nozzles
- Deliver bone cement into tibial stem hole to achieve full cementation14-16
