ABSTRACT:
A prosthesis which can be implanted into the cavity of a bone or between spaced apart bones defines a passage with ports for evacuation of air and/or other matter from the cavity or cavities which are to receive bone cement or other cement. The prosthesis is inserted and centered prior to introduction of cement, and its passage or passages are connected to a suction generating device during admission of cement. If necessary, the prosthesis can be confined in a jacket to prevent overheating of adjacent tissue during polymerization of the introduced mass of cement. The passage or passages in the prosthesis can be filled with cement and/or with medications which penetrate into the adjacent tissue subsequent to implantation of the prosthesis.
