cemented fixation

Cemented fixation in joint replacement surgery involves using a special medical-grade cement to securely attach the artificial implant components (like a hip or knee) directly to your natural bone. The cement acts as a strong adhesive, filling any microscopic gaps and providing immediate stability. This method allows the prosthesis to stay firmly in place right after surgery, promoting quicker initial stability and potentially faster recovery. Over time, the bond may strengthen as the cement and bone interface integrate. Cemented fixation is widely used and effective, especially in cases where rapid stabilization is desired or in older patients with less dense bone.
