Stem introducer designs and surgical technique play a significant role in achieving the optimal implant-cement interface
Our results showed that introducer design had a significant impact on stem movement within the setting cement. Furthermore, its removal earlier in the setting reaction resulted in increased movement. These findings highlight the importance of instrument design and correct technique in achieving the optimal ICI.
