Popis:	One of the reasons for failure of total elbow replacement is loosening of the ulnar component. Cementing techniques are often outdated. A special small nozzle is needed for the ulnar component, when a cement gun is used. This may not always be available, or surgeons may prefer to use a syringe. We postulated that the use of a cement gun and smaller nozzle would result in improved filling of the ulnar canal. A cadaveric study was performed in which the ulnas of paired specimens were cemented with a cement gun or with a syringe. A 3D printed ulnar component was inserted and computed tomography scanning was performed on all specimens. Filling of the ulnar intramedullary canal was analysed using 3D reconstructions of the specimens. A greater degree of filling was seen by the use of the cement gun in 85.7%. Filling was 52.7% in the syringe group (25.1–78.7%), compared to 63.3% for the cement gun group ( p
