title: Removal of well-fixed cementless components.
abstract: Removal of stable, osseointegrated cementless components can be a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Careful preoperative planning to assess the location and extent of the bone ingrowth or ongrowth as well as ensuring that the appropriate instrumentation is available in the operating room can help minimize complications when performing these procedures.
