cemented prosthesis
A cemented prosthesis is a type of medical implant used in surgeries, particularly in joint replacement, where the prosthetic device is attached to the bone using a special type of adhesive cement. This cement helps create a strong bond between the prosthesis and the bone, allowing for stable and secure function. Cemented prostheses are often used for patients with weaker bones or those who may not heal well after surgery. They can provide effective pain relief and improved mobility when joints like hips or knees are damaged by conditions such as arthritis.

A cemented prosthesis is an artificial joint used in orthopedic surgery, such as hip or knee replacements. It is attached to the bone using a special type of medical adhesive, or cement. This method allows for a solid fixation between the prosthesis and the bone, ensuring stability and support. Cemented prostheses are often recommended for older patients or those with weaker bones, as they can provide immediate function and strength. The cement provides a good bond that can last for many years, helping improve mobility and quality of life for individuals with joint issues.
