Abstract
A method for forming a temporary orthopedic implant used in an orthopedic surgical procedure. The method includes mixing bone cement during a surgical procedure. An appropriately sized cement mold is selected which is translucent and includes an input port. The cement mold is filled with bone cement to form the temporary implant. A surgeon determines that the cement mold is fully filled by viewing through the translucent cement mold. The surgeon further fills the cement mold by directing a nozzle within the input port of the cement mold. The cement mold may further be pierced to relieve any air pockets formed in the cement mold. The temporary implant is then subsequently implanted into a patient. The temporary implant may also include a re-enforcement member included into the temporary implant.
