More about Treatment

Cemented vs. Cementless Alternatives in Joint Replacement. A cemented joint prosthesis uses fast-drying bone cement to help affix it to the bone. A cementless joint prosthesis, sometimes called a press-fit prosthesis, is specially textured to allow the bone to grow onto it and adhere to it over time.
