The femoral stem pump in cemented hip arthroplasty: an in vitro model.
The presence of an intra-articular pump has been proposed as a central mechanism in the process of osteolysis and aseptic loosening of hip arthroplasty. It is not known if this pump exists and its mechanism remains uncharacterised. This study describes a new in vitro model of a cemented femoral stem...
