Abstract
A cannulated tamp for preparing a cavity in a femur to receive a prosthesis has a thin sidewall with perforations and openings at the proximal and distal ends. During the process of tamping bone graft material, it is positioned over a guide wire which extends through the openings at the proximal and distal ends. After completion of the tamping, the guide wire is removed and a perforated tubing attached to a vacuum pump is inserted through the openings at the proximal and distal ends to withdraw liquids from the prepared cavity.
