Description: Classical methods of cement removal in revision surgery involve the use of potentially damaging instruments - hammers, chisels, drills and high speed burrs. These traditional methods are time-consuming, there is difficulty in distinguishing between cement and bone, and femoral perforation or fracture is easily produced. OSCAR (Orthosonics System for Cemented Arthoplasty Revision) utilises ultrasonic waves to remove bone cement speedily and efficiently.
