Abstract
Methods and instruments for use of a patient's native and existing cancellous bone as a packing material for the intramedullary canal in total hip arthroplasty and subsequent revision hip surgery. A series of tamps of progressively larger size are used to pack the native cancellous bone, the tamps having a shape substantially similar to that of the hip prosthesis. The methods and instruments are bone conserving. If the patient later needs a revision surgery, the doctor has more bone to work with and there is less risk of complications.
