This invention is generally directed to hip surgery (total hip arthroplasty or THA). The invention is more specifically directed to primary THA using autograft in the form of the patient's native and existing cancellous bone as a packing material for the intramedullary canal. This provides for many advantages, including, in the case where the patient later needs a revision surgery, the doctor has more bone to work with and there is less risk of complications.
