It is essential to confirm that cement flow
has stopped before disengaging the cement delivery
system from the screw head.

Follow the instructions from the respective bone cement and
delivery system package inserts to introduce the cement
through the delivery cannula.
Use fluoroscopy throughout the procedure to verify and

introduced, stop cement introduction as indicated per the
respective bone cement technique.
Disengage the cannula from the alignment guide by
