However, almost all of these systems have been developed for cementless cups. In the case of cemented total hip arthroplasty using a navigation system, a special-ordered cemented holder is needed. We propose a novel cemented cup-holding technique for navigation systems using readily available articles. We combine a cementless cup holder with an inverted cementless trial cup. The resulting apparatus is used as a cemented cup holder. The upside-down cup-holding technique is useful and permits cemented cup users to utilize a navigation system for placement of the acetabular component.Arthroplasty today164-166https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5585768biostudies-literatureNovel cemented cup-holding technique while performing total hip arthroplasty with navigation system.PMC5585768Takahashi TTakai HfalseNovel cemented cup-holding technique while performing total hip arthroplasty with navigation system.Recently, navigation systems have been more widely utilized in total hip arthroplasty.
