Abstract
Forty-six revision cemented femoral arthroplasties in which second-gen eration cementing techniques were used have been reviewed. After an av erage follow-up period of 8.8 years, 91% of the femoral components rem ained in place and 87% remained well fixed. Only 7% were rerevised for aseptic loosening. These results demonstrate a marked improvement ove r those of first-generation cementing techniques.
