ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic hip inserter is designed for use when implanting a hip stem with bone cement. The inserter includes an attachment device for securing and holding the hip implant prior to and during insertion into the medullary canal of the femur. The inserter includes a pressurizer carried on the end of the inserter which carries the attachment device. The pressurizer includes a seal which surrounds at least part of the outer circumference of the prosthesis to be implanted. This both prevents the escape of and application of pressure to the bone cement prior to its curing. The thickness of the seal can be used to adjust the depth of insertion of the hip implant stem.
