Acetabular Reaming in #TotalHipReplacement . The precision of acetabular reaming can make or break the success of total hip arthroplasty. During this critical step, surgeons carefully prepare the hip socket (acetabulum) to receive the artificial cup component (new hip socket). Often starting with smaller reamers, surgeons progressively increase sizes while maintaining precise positioning. The goal? Creating a perfectly hemispherical cavity that ensures optimal implant fit and stability for your new hip implant. . Research shows #reamer sharpness and design can significantly impact outcomes. New reamers typically achieve deeper penetration than used ones under the same force, potentially improving #hipimplant stability. Newer orthopedic reamers also generate less heat, reducing risk of bone necrosis. Surgeons must avoid over-reaming the posterior column while ensuring adequate medial wall preparation. #surgicaltools . ⬇️ What’s the “scariest looking” surgical tool you’ve seen?
