As we have pointed out in a previous post, more cement can generate more heat in the glenoid bone, risking the possibility of thermal damage to the bone, so more cement may not be the goal.
We use a different approach to the removal of fluid from the prepared glenoid bone, employing a carbondioxide spray just before the cement is pressurized.
The consistent result is the absence of radiolucent lines with a minimal amount of cement as shown in the radiograph below.
