The chisel is placed between the prosthesis and femur, atraumatically separating the ingrowth that holds the prosthesis in place. |
Sure, people noticed the flipper attached to the prosthesis on his left leg. |
Cemented fixation relies on a stable interface between the prosthesis and the cement and a solid mechanical bond between the cement and the bone. |
Cementless fixation depends on prosthesis design plus ingrowth and overgrowth of bone to biologically bind the prosthesis to the skeleton. |
The single most critical aspect of any prosthesis is the quality of the interface between the limb remnant and the artificial prosthesis. |
