title: Pulmonary embolic syndrome caused by cementing of hip endoprosthesis.
abstract: Previous studies have indicated that cementing of the femoral component in total hip replacement produces the features of the pulmonary embolic syndrome (P.E.S.). The present investigations have been carried out to ascertain if newer methods of insertion modify these features. There was no evidence to suggest that any of these approaches has any advantage over the others in relation to the various components of P.E.S.
