Cemented femoral stem, used with the stem centraliser.
Where the surgeon plans cemented fixation, the HECTOR standard cemented stem has the same taper 12/14, conical geometry as the cementless stem. The stem is used with a centraliser and the CoCr femoral heads of the system. Femoral preparation, trial reduction and head assembly follow the cementless sequence. What changes is the canal plug, the cement and the centraliser.
The cemented stem shares the conical form and 12/14 taper of the cementless stem. One range of femoral heads, one set of trial necks and one instrument container therefore serve both stems. The choice of fixation does not change the rest of the system.
A centraliser is available for use with the cemented stem. It is fitted on the tip of the stem before insertion, and the canal is plugged and the mantle built according to the cement manufacturer's instructions.
The 12/14 taper takes the same CoCr femoral heads as the cementless stem. Trial necks and heads are shared, so height and stability are checked before cementing and before the final head is placed.
The cemented stem has a smooth conical body and is used with a distal centraliser. The same rasps and trials prepare both stem types.
