A prosthesis having attachment portion for insertion into or attachment to a patient's bone without bone cement. Parts of the attachment portion on the prosthesis are attached to the bone are covered with a mantle of synthetic resin material and which has a roughened outer surface with bone fragments or calcium phosphate fragments embedded therein.

Preformed mantle

An acetabular bone graft impactor comprising a contact surface at least part of which is located on a head connected to a shaft provided with and anvil to be hit with a hammer. A flange extends from the head so that the contact surface shape can be selectively altered.

Acetabular bone graft impactor

An apparatus for performing hip prosthesis revision surgery includes means for preparation of the cavity left after removal of the original prosthesis. A tamp having a longitudinal passageway extending longitudinally through the stem portion thereof and a guidewire positioned in the cavity function to compact bone graft material in the cavity and form a precisely contoured new hip prosthesis receiving cavity.
