Abstract
When revising dynamic hip screw fixation to arthroplasty, the defect left by the lag
screw in the proximal femur poses a problem for cement containment, with the potential
for sub-optimal cementation. We recommend the use of a bioresorbable cement restrictor
as a simple and effective means to overcome this problem.
