Novel modification of second generation intramedullary PMMA cementing technique for narrow upper and lower extremity canals

摘要

PurposeIt is very difficult to cement intramedullary canals smaller than 10 mm with standard commercially available cement syringes due to mismatch in canal and syringe diameters. This is often encountered in children and in the upper limb. We describe a simple method of cementing, using cement gun with size-matched plastic endotracheal tube (ET).
