Grading System of the Quality of Femoral Stem Cementation According to Barrack et al.62
| Grade | Cementation |
|---|---|
|
| |
| A | Uniform cement mantle without any stem-bone contact and excellent interdigitation of cement, which results in a “white out” |
| B | Radiolucency at the cement-bone interface, covering <50% of the implant |
| C | 50% to 99% radiolucency at the cement-bone interface |
| D | 100% radiolucency at the cement-bone interface and absence of cement distal to the tip of the stem |
