Abstract
Background:Debonding of the cement from metal implants has been implicated in the loosening of cemented total hip prostheses. Strengthening of the stem-cement interface has been suggested as a way to prevent loosening of the component. Previously, it was reported that preheating the stem to 44°C redKeywords
