title: A readily available improvised acetabular cement pressurizer.
abstract: A femoral head mounted onto a large corkscrew and enclosed in a rubber glove makes a readily available, costless, custom-made acetabular cement pressurizer for total hip surgery. For the vast majority of total hip arthroplasties, this procedure allows leak-proof acetabular cement pressurizing that is superior to any commercially available instrument.
