Heterogeneity in cement-mantle thickness. Examples of a a rather thin, b regular and c excessively thick cement mantle. d Cement-mantle analysis for zone 3 revealed substantial differences regarding prosthesis design: it was thicker in Durom than in BHR, ASR and ReCap. Examples of cement/mantle defects: e improperly seated cemented femoral component and osseous remnant, with bleeding into the empty area, f irregularly folded cement mantle, g trapped air mixed into the cement mantle
