ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic implant cement deflector is provided for use in prosthetic surgery when employing an implant in the form of a cannulated phantom or trial prosthesis in combination with a cannulated or cannulated surgical prosthesis or a cannulated prosthesis without a phantom prosthesis. Each cannulated phantom prosthesis or cannulated prosthesis has an insert portion for location in a bone canal and a cannulation bore extending through the insert portion to receive a guide wire. The phantom includes at least one cement deflector element adapted to slide in sealing engagement on the guide wire and which can act to seal the interface between the guide wire and the surface of the distal end of the cannulation bore. The sheath used with the implant has a preformed unperforated sheath adapted to extend over the insert portion of the implant from its distal end to a position at or adjacent to its proximal end.
