SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING HIP PROSTHESIS
REVISION SURGERY
BACKGROUND ART
The present lnventlon ls dlrected to a method for performlng revlslon surgery to replace a hlp prosthesls havlng a stem portlon prevlously lmplanted ln the lntramedullary canal of a femur and to a system for performlng such surgery.
As ls well known, lt ls frequency necessary to replace a hlp ~olnt prosthesls. Thls ls usually done several years after the orlglnal lmplantatlon ln order to replace dlsfunctlonal ~olnts or to obtaln the beneflts of one of newer deslgn whlch resulted from advancements ln medlcal technology.
In the course of hlp revlslon surgery, lt ls necessary to remove the femoral component lncludlng lts stem from the intramedullary canal of the femur. If cement materlal was used to flx the stem wlthln the lntramedullary canal, lt must be removed prlor to lmplantatlon of the new prosthesls thereln.
Removal of the cement ls accompllshed by drllllng or reamlng.
Durlng such drllllng or reamlng procedure, lt ls lmportant that the drlll or reamer be properly allgned and gulded to avold accldental performatlon of the cortex of the femur.

A number of prior art devices have been utilized for nligninE
drills or reamers in the performance of revision hip surgery. U.S.
Patent No. 4,860,735 relates to a drill alignment guide for osteoplastic surgery in which an alignment rod is supported on a clamp element affixed to the femur. The drill is mounted for 10 movement with an alignment rod which is parallel to snd ~ po~ed a predetermined distance from a shaft of the drill.

DISCLOSUR~; OF INVENTION
The parent application of the present continuation-in-part application provides for a new method of performing revision surgery utilizing improved means for insuring proper centering and guidance 3 5 for of the reamer utilized for removing old bone cement. Such centering and guidance means insures proper positioning of the WO 93/01773 PCr/US92/06039 revision prosthesis with an adequate thickness of bone cement there around and assists in avoiding accidental perforation of the cortex of the femur. Under such invention, the original femoral component is removed and then replaced by a cannulated trial femoral component of similar size and shape to the original prosthesis which has been removed. X-rays taken prior to removal of the original prosthesis can be used to confirm that the original prosthesis is still properly aligned in the femoral canal and did not subside within the original cement mantle into varus. Assuming that the original prosthesis as removed was properly aligned, the cannulated trisl femoral component is then inserted into the cavity left by the removal of the original prosthesis. An elongated drill is then inserted through the cannulated stem and, using the passageway of the cannulated stem as a guide, is utilized to drill through the cement and cement restricter at the bottom of the cavity thus forming a pilot hole in the cement, restricter and bone marrow therebelow. The pilot hole is sufficiently large to permit insertion of a bullit guidewire having a slightly enlarged head at its free end. Following insertion of the bullit guide wire, cannulated reamers of progressively increasing size are placed over the bullit guidewire and utilized to prog~e;.~ively increase the size of the prepared canal to (1) remove all of the old bone cement, centralizer and restricter and (2) reach a size suitable for receiving new bone cement and the stem of the new femoral hip joint prosthesis.
As previously discussed, removal of the old bone cement will result in formation of a cavity in the femur significantly larger than required or desired to receive the new prosthesis and a portion of such cavity should be filled with crushed cancellous bone graft which is then tightly commpacted therein.
According to the present invention, a method is provided using a cannulated tamp of the present invention to compact crushed cancellous bone graft placed in such enlarged cavity to the density or 2112108 22236-59l tlghtness deslred for optlmum graftlng wlth the remainlng bone whlle at the same tlme formlng a new cavlty of the deslred shape and slze to recelve the new prosthesls wlth the approprlate amount of bone cement. The present lnventlon utllizing the cannulated tamp and guldewlre may be used ln revlslon surgery performed uslng alternate methods of removing bone cement as well as the method of removlng bone cement dlsclosed ln the parent of the present appllcation.

The present lnventlon ls dlrected to a method for performlng revlslon surgery to replace a hlp prosthesls havlng a stem portlon prevlously lmplanted ln the lntramedullary canal of a femur and to a system for performlng such surgery.
As ls well known, lt ls frequency necessary to replace a hlp ~olnt prosthesls. Thls ls usually done several years after the orlglnal lmplantatlon ln order to replace dlsfunctlonal ~olnts or to obtaln the beneflts of one of newer deslgn whlch resulted from advancements ln medlcal technology.
In the course of hlp revlslon surgery, lt ls necessary to remove the femoral component lncludlng lts stem from the intramedullary canal of the femur. If cement materlal was used to flx the stem wlthln the lntramedullary canal, lt must be removed prlor to lmplantatlon of the new prosthesls thereln.
Removal of the cement ls accompllshed by drllllng or reamlng.
Durlng such drllllng or reamlng procedure, lt ls lmportant that the drlll or reamer be properly allgned and gulded to avold accldental performatlon of the cortex of the femur.

BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT INVENTION
Referring now to Fig. 1, there is shown a femur generally designated by the number 10 having implanted therein a hip joint prosthesis 11 having a stem 12 implanted within the intramedullary 35 canal 13 of the femur. The stem extends from a lower distal end 14 to an upper portion which includes an enlarged shoulder 15 and a neck portion 16 disDosed at an obtuse angle relative to the stem 12.
W O 93/01773 PC~r/US92/06039 The prosthesis 11 is typically secured in the femoral intramedullary canal 13 by a cement mantle 17 of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or other suitable bone cement. A
restricter 18 is placed in the intramedullary canal 13 prior to introduction of the bone cement 17 therein. The distal end 14 of the stem may be engaged in a centralizer 19 which assists in centering the distal end 14 during the step of implantation of the prosthesis 11 in the cement 17. The prosthesis 11 may be provided with an aperture 20 or other suitable grasping means to assist in its removal.
As shown in Fig. 2, the removal of the prosthesis 11 leaves a cavity 25 conforming to the shape of the removed stem 12. Obviously, prior to removal of the prosthesis 11, any portion of the cement mantle 17 such as that overlying the enlarged shoulder 15 as indicated by the numeral 26 in Fig. 1, must be removed. As can be seen in Fig. 2, the restricter 18 and centralizer 19 remain within the intramedullary canal 13 following removal of the prosthesis 11 as does the cement mantle 17 which retained the prosthesis 11.
It is desirable that all of the old cement 17 be removed prior to implantation of a new prosthesis in the intramedullary canal 13. In order to effect such cement removal efficiently and with minim~l 25 risk to the patient, guide means for the drill and reamer are utilized for such removal. Referring to Fig. 3, there is shown a cannulated trial femoral component 30 following its insertion into the cavity 25 left by removal of the original prosthesis 11. The cannulated trial femoral component 30 preferably has a stem 31 which is shaped 30 substantially the same as the shape of the stem of the original - prosthesis 11. The stem 31 extends from a distal end 32 to an enlarged upper end 34 extending out of the cavity 25. The stem 31 has a longitudinally extending passageway 33 which extends from the distal end 32 to the upper end 34 where it forms an outlet opening 35.
WO 93/01773 PCl/US92/06039 21 ~ f l~8 Prior to removal of the original prosthesis 11, X-rays should be taken to determine that the stem 12 of such original prosthesis was properly aligned in the intramedullary canal 13 and that it did not - shift into varus as a result of subsidence within the cement mantle.
Such subsidence within the cement mantle is known to occur over a period of time.
As shown in Fig. 4, there is provided a drill 40 having an elongated drill bit 41. The drill bit 41 has a length permitting it to extend completely through the longitudinal passageway 33 of the cannulated trial femoral component 30 and a substantial distance beyond. Thus, as shown in Fig. 4, the drill bit 41 is of sufficient length to drill, using the longitudinal passageway 33 as a guide, through the centralizer 19, restricter 18 and a substantial distance into the intramedullary csnal 13 forming a new rhnn~el 42 below the restricter 18.
Referring now to Fig. 5, there is shown a bullit guidewire 43 having an enlarged head 44 positioned in the newly drilled t~hnnn~l 42.
- Thus, following drilling of the channel 42 through the centralizer 19, restricter 18 and further into the intramedullary canal 13, the drill bit 41 is removed therefrom while leaving the cannulated trial femoral component 30 positioned therein. Thereafter, the guide wire 43 with its enlarged head 44 is inserted through the longitudinal passageway 33 and into the ch~nnel 42. Following insertion of the guidewire 43, the cannulated trial femoral component 30 is removed leaving the guidewire 43 in position.
Referring now to Fig. 6, following removal of the cannulated trial femoral component 30, a reamer 50 having a hollow stem 51 terminating in an enlarged cutting head 52 is provided. A
longitudinal passageway 53 extends through the cutting head 52 and the stem 51. The reamer S0 is telescoped over the bullit guidewire 3 5 43 and may be power rotated by any standard well known power means.
W O 93/01773 PC~r/US92/06039 211210~
As can be seen in Figs. 7 and 8, progressively larger reamers 50' (Fig. 7) and 50" (Fig. 8) with pro~les~ively larger cutting heads 52' and 52" are utilized to progressively enlarge the opening of the cavity 25 and remove the old cement 17, the centralizer 19 and the restricter 18 and to pro~le~ively enlarge the opening until all of the old cement 17 has been removed and in doing so to utilized the bulllt guidewire 43 to guide it. If desired, as progressively larger reamers 50, 50' and 50" are used, larger diameter guidewires may be Inserted, replacing the small guidewire 43 used for the drill bit 41. The larger guidewires will give additional rigidity in guiding the path of the 1 5 reamers.
Referring to Fig. 9, following reaming of the old cement 17 in the lower portion of the femur and reaming of the centralizer 19 and restricter 18, the reamer and guidewire 43 may be removed.
Although there will be additional old cement 17 still present in the 20 upper, larger femur portion, it can be readily removed by conventional techniques.
Referring now to Figs. 10-15, there is shown the method and apparatus for preparing a newly reamed cavity 57 of femur 56 preparatory to receiving a new femoral hip prosthesis for 25 implantation. Although not limited to such use, the method and apparatus disclosed and claimed herein is ideally suited for preparing, in revision ~ ery, a femur to receive a collarless polished tapered femoral prosthesis of the type manufactured and sold by Zimmer, Inc., Warsaw, Tntljnn~ as shown in its brochure entitled "The 30 CPT TM Hip System" (copy enclosed) which is incorporated herein by reference.
Following removal of the old prosthesis, old cement and old restricter, a new cement restricter or plug 60 is placed at or near the bottom of the cavity 57. Preferably the restricter 60 is formed of 35 plastic and has a central threaded cavity 61 formed therein. A
guidewire 62 having external threads 63 on its free end is threadedly WO 93/01773 PCr/US92/06039 engaged to the restricter 60. A removable T-bar 64 of conventional design may be secured to the end of the guidewire 62 extending out of the cavity 57 of femur 56. One such T-bar is one manufactured and sold by Zimmer, Inc., under the name of T-Handle (Zimmer Shank) Item No. 6551-60 of the above referenced brochure. The T-bar 64, when engaged to the guidewire 62 threadedly engaged to the restricter 60 may be used to position the restricter 60 in the cavity 57. While still attached to the guidewire 62, the T-bar 64 is impacted to drive the restricter 60 to its proper position in the cavity 57. The T-bar 64 is then removed from the guidewire 62 leaving the guidewire in place threadedly engaged to the restricter 60.
Referring now to Fig. 11, with the guidewire 62 and restricter 60 in place, crushed cancellous bone graft material 65 is then loosely packed in the cavity 57.
Referring now to Figs. 12 and 14, there is shown a cannulated tamp generally designated by the numeral 70 which, in Fig. 14, is shown positioned in the cavity 57 of the femur 56 being prepared to receive a new femoral prosthesis. The tamp includes a stem portion 71 extending from an upper proximal end 72 to a lower distal end 73.
The tamp 70 should have its stem 71 shaped similar to the shape of the femoral prosthesis intended to be implanted; however, ideally a series of tamps each of varying size will be utilized in performing a single revision surgery. Smaller sized tamps will be used initially with pro~l e3~ively larger ones used thereafter until the crushed cancellous bone graft material is compacted to the desired density and the new cavity thus formed will be of the desired size. The largest size tamp will be larger than the prosthesis intended to be implanted by an amount which will permit new bone cement used to implant such prosthesis to have a thickness of two to four millimeters in all portions of the stem. Thus, if the surgeon intends to use an implant of the type shown in the above-referenced Zimmer, Inc.
brochure as a "CPT Hip Stem" the tamp 70 will have a stem W O 93/01773 PC~r/US92/06039 i 2112108 configuration similar to that of the CPT Hip Stem. Preferably all portions of the stem 71 are polished to a smooth finish.
The tamp 70 has a longitudinal passagewsy 74. The upper or proximal end 72 of the tamp includes a protrusion 75 and knob 76 intended to be engaged by a rasp handle 77 of any desired type such as that disclosed in the above-referenced Zimmer, Inc. brochure as item no. 6601-OS. It should be understood that since the longitudinal passageway 74 extends through the distal end 73 of the tamp 70, the tamp 70 may be slightly shorter than the prosthesis to be used in the revision. The passageway 74 must be large enough to permit the tamp 70 to move freely over the guidewire 62.
Referring to Fig. 13, there is shown a detailed view of the guidewire 62. The guidewire 62 is approximately 2-5mm in size, and in addition to the threads 63, may have a series of lines 67 for measuring depth to which the restricter is positioned.
Referring to Fig. 14, with the rasp handle 77 engaged to the tamp 70 by means of the protrusion 75 and knob 76, the tamp 70 is positioned to be driven into the cavity 57 by means of the rasp handle 76 being impacted by a hammer or other impacting device. With the tamp 70 positioned as indicated in Fig. 14 and with the guidewire 62 extending through the longitudinal passageway 74, the position of the tamp 70 is precisely controlled as it is driven to the desired position within the cavity 57. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, from time to time it may be necessary to completely remove the tamp 70 to place additional bone graft material 65 therein in order to provide the sufficient quantity of materiul for impacting to the proper density. Additionally, as previously noted, it may be desirable to utilize a series of tamps 70 beginning with a smaller tamp and working up plo~.e;.aively to one which is larger than the desired prosthesis to permit an adequate amount of bone cement around such prosthesis on implantation.
Following tamping of the cancellous bone graft material 65 to the desired density and the resultant formation of a cavity of the proper size and shape the tamp may be removed from the newly formed cavity 78, the rasp handle 77 removed therefrom, and the guidewire 62 may be unscrewed and removed from the restricter 60.
The new cavity 78 is now ready to receive the new prost~
Fig. 15 shows the completed revision surgery with a new prosthesis 81 having a distal end 82 positioned in a support element 83 implanted in bone cement 88. The support element 83 is formed of material suitable for implantation in a human body (such as PMMA) and has nn annulnr sidewall 84 with a closed end 85 and an open top 86 in which the distal end 82 of the new prosthesis 81 is posltioned. The distal end 82 is spaced from the closed end 85 to allow space for movement of such distal end 82 therein as the prosthesis 81, over time, subsides within the cement mantle 88 in which the new prosthesis is implanted. As will be appreciated and as can be seen in Fig. 15, the cement mantle 88 fills the cavity left by removal of the guidewire 62 from the restricter 60 and compacted bone graft.
The present inYention may be used in revision surgery irrespective of whether the prosthesis to be replaced was implanted with bone cement or was one designed and used without cement. The new prosthesis should be implanted in cement following completion of bone graft as described above.
It is to be understood that the above detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention is provided by way of example only. Various details of design and construction and steps in the procedure may be modified without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT INVENTION
Referring now to Fig. 1, there is shown a femur generally designated by the number 10 having implanted therein a hip joint prosthesis 11 having a stem 12 implanted within the intramedullary 35 canal 13 of the femur. The stem extends from a lower distal end 14 to an upper portion which includes an enlarged shoulder 15 and a neck portion 16 disDosed at an obtuse angle relative to the stem 12.
W O 93/01773 PC~r/US92/06039 The prosthesis 11 is typically secured in the femoral intramedullary canal 13 by a cement mantle 17 of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or other suitable bone cement. A
restricter 18 is placed in the intramedullary canal 13 prior to introduction of the bone cement 17 therein. The distal end 14 of the stem may be engaged in a centralizer 19 which assists in centering the distal end 14 during the step of implantation of the prosthesis 11 in the cement 17. The prosthesis 11 may be provided with an aperture 20 or other suitable grasping means to assist in its removal.
As shown in Fig. 2, the removal of the prosthesis 11 leaves a cavity 25 conforming to the shape of the removed stem 12. Obviously, prior to removal of the prosthesis 11, any portion of the cement mantle 17 such as that overlying the enlarged shoulder 15 as indicated by the numeral 26 in Fig. 1, must be removed. As can be seen in Fig. 2, the restricter 18 and centralizer 19 remain within the intramedullary canal 13 following removal of the prosthesis 11 as does the cement mantle 17 which retained the prosthesis 11.
It is desirable that all of the old cement 17 be removed prior to implantation of a new prosthesis in the intramedullary canal 13. In order to effect such cement removal efficiently and with minim~l 25 risk to the patient, guide means for the drill and reamer are utilized for such removal. Referring to Fig. 3, there is shown a cannulated trial femoral component 30 following its insertion into the cavity 25 left by removal of the original prosthesis 11. The cannulated trial femoral component 30 preferably has a stem 31 which is shaped 30 substantially the same as the shape of the stem of the original - prosthesis 11. The stem 31 extends from a distal end 32 to an enlarged upper end 34 extending out of the cavity 25. The stem 31 has a longitudinally extending passageway 33 which extends from the distal end 32 to the upper end 34 where it forms an outlet opening 35.
WO 93/01773 PCl/US92/06039 21 ~ f l~8 Prior to removal of the original prosthesis 11, X-rays should be taken to determine that the stem 12 of such original prosthesis was properly aligned in the intramedullary canal 13 and that it did not - shift into varus as a result of subsidence within the cement mantle.
Such subsidence within the cement mantle is known to occur over a period of time.
As shown in Fig. 4, there is provided a drill 40 having an elongated drill bit 41. The drill bit 41 has a length permitting it to extend completely through the longitudinal passageway 33 of the cannulated trial femoral component 30 and a substantial distance beyond. Thus, as shown in Fig. 4, the drill bit 41 is of sufficient length to drill, using the longitudinal passageway 33 as a guide, through the centralizer 19, restricter 18 and a substantial distance into the intramedullary csnal 13 forming a new rhnn~el 42 below the restricter 18.
Referring now to Fig. 5, there is shown a bullit guidewire 43 having an enlarged head 44 positioned in the newly drilled t~hnnn~l 42.
- Thus, following drilling of the channel 42 through the centralizer 19, restricter 18 and further into the intramedullary canal 13, the drill bit 41 is removed therefrom while leaving the cannulated trial femoral component 30 positioned therein. Thereafter, the guide wire 43 with its enlarged head 44 is inserted through the longitudinal passageway 33 and into the ch~nnel 42. Following insertion of the guidewire 43, the cannulated trial femoral component 30 is removed leaving the guidewire 43 in position.
Referring now to Fig. 6, following removal of the cannulated trial femoral component 30, a reamer 50 having a hollow stem 51 terminating in an enlarged cutting head 52 is provided. A
longitudinal passageway 53 extends through the cutting head 52 and the stem 51. The reamer S0 is telescoped over the bullit guidewire 3 5 43 and may be power rotated by any standard well known power means.
W O 93/01773 PC~r/US92/06039 211210~
As can be seen in Figs. 7 and 8, progressively larger reamers 50' (Fig. 7) and 50" (Fig. 8) with pro~les~ively larger cutting heads 52' and 52" are utilized to progressively enlarge the opening of the cavity 25 and remove the old cement 17, the centralizer 19 and the restricter 18 and to pro~le~ively enlarge the opening until all of the old cement 17 has been removed and in doing so to utilized the bulllt guidewire 43 to guide it. If desired, as progressively larger reamers 50, 50' and 50" are used, larger diameter guidewires may be Inserted, replacing the small guidewire 43 used for the drill bit 41. The larger guidewires will give additional rigidity in guiding the path of the 1 5 reamers.
Referring to Fig. 9, following reaming of the old cement 17 in the lower portion of the femur and reaming of the centralizer 19 and restricter 18, the reamer and guidewire 43 may be removed.
Although there will be additional old cement 17 still present in the 20 upper, larger femur portion, it can be readily removed by conventional techniques.
Referring now to Figs. 10-15, there is shown the method and apparatus for preparing a newly reamed cavity 57 of femur 56 preparatory to receiving a new femoral hip prosthesis for 25 implantation. Although not limited to such use, the method and apparatus disclosed and claimed herein is ideally suited for preparing, in revision ~ ery, a femur to receive a collarless polished tapered femoral prosthesis of the type manufactured and sold by Zimmer, Inc., Warsaw, Tntljnn~ as shown in its brochure entitled "The 30 CPT TM Hip System" (copy enclosed) which is incorporated herein by reference.
Following removal of the old prosthesis, old cement and old restricter, a new cement restricter or plug 60 is placed at or near the bottom of the cavity 57. Preferably the restricter 60 is formed of 35 plastic and has a central threaded cavity 61 formed therein. A
guidewire 62 having external threads 63 on its free end is threadedly WO 93/01773 PCr/US92/06039 engaged to the restricter 60. A removable T-bar 64 of conventional design may be secured to the end of the guidewire 62 extending out of the cavity 57 of femur 56. One such T-bar is one manufactured and sold by Zimmer, Inc., under the name of T-Handle (Zimmer Shank) Item No. 6551-60 of the above referenced brochure. The T-bar 64, when engaged to the guidewire 62 threadedly engaged to the restricter 60 may be used to position the restricter 60 in the cavity 57. While still attached to the guidewire 62, the T-bar 64 is impacted to drive the restricter 60 to its proper position in the cavity 57. The T-bar 64 is then removed from the guidewire 62 leaving the guidewire in place threadedly engaged to the restricter 60.
Referring now to Fig. 11, with the guidewire 62 and restricter 60 in place, crushed cancellous bone graft material 65 is then loosely packed in the cavity 57.
Referring now to Figs. 12 and 14, there is shown a cannulated tamp generally designated by the numeral 70 which, in Fig. 14, is shown positioned in the cavity 57 of the femur 56 being prepared to receive a new femoral prosthesis. The tamp includes a stem portion 71 extending from an upper proximal end 72 to a lower distal end 73.
The tamp 70 should have its stem 71 shaped similar to the shape of the femoral prosthesis intended to be implanted; however, ideally a series of tamps each of varying size will be utilized in performing a single revision surgery. Smaller sized tamps will be used initially with pro~l e3~ively larger ones used thereafter until the crushed cancellous bone graft material is compacted to the desired density and the new cavity thus formed will be of the desired size. The largest size tamp will be larger than the prosthesis intended to be implanted by an amount which will permit new bone cement used to implant such prosthesis to have a thickness of two to four millimeters in all portions of the stem. Thus, if the surgeon intends to use an implant of the type shown in the above-referenced Zimmer, Inc.
brochure as a "CPT Hip Stem" the tamp 70 will have a stem W O 93/01773 PC~r/US92/06039 i 2112108 configuration similar to that of the CPT Hip Stem. Preferably all portions of the stem 71 are polished to a smooth finish.
The tamp 70 has a longitudinal passagewsy 74. The upper or proximal end 72 of the tamp includes a protrusion 75 and knob 76 intended to be engaged by a rasp handle 77 of any desired type such as that disclosed in the above-referenced Zimmer, Inc. brochure as item no. 6601-OS. It should be understood that since the longitudinal passageway 74 extends through the distal end 73 of the tamp 70, the tamp 70 may be slightly shorter than the prosthesis to be used in the revision. The passageway 74 must be large enough to permit the tamp 70 to move freely over the guidewire 62.
Referring to Fig. 13, there is shown a detailed view of the guidewire 62. The guidewire 62 is approximately 2-5mm in size, and in addition to the threads 63, may have a series of lines 67 for measuring depth to which the restricter is positioned.
Referring to Fig. 14, with the rasp handle 77 engaged to the tamp 70 by means of the protrusion 75 and knob 76, the tamp 70 is positioned to be driven into the cavity 57 by means of the rasp handle 76 being impacted by a hammer or other impacting device. With the tamp 70 positioned as indicated in Fig. 14 and with the guidewire 62 extending through the longitudinal passageway 74, the position of the tamp 70 is precisely controlled as it is driven to the desired position within the cavity 57. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, from time to time it may be necessary to completely remove the tamp 70 to place additional bone graft material 65 therein in order to provide the sufficient quantity of materiul for impacting to the proper density. Additionally, as previously noted, it may be desirable to utilize a series of tamps 70 beginning with a smaller tamp and working up plo~.e;.aively to one which is larger than the desired prosthesis to permit an adequate amount of bone cement around such prosthesis on implantation.
Following tamping of the cancellous bone graft material 65 to the desired density and the resultant formation of a cavity of the proper size and shape the tamp may be removed from the newly formed cavity 78, the rasp handle 77 removed therefrom, and the guidewire 62 may be unscrewed and removed from the restricter 60.
