<p>A method for agitating a surgical fluid (40) using a vibrating probe is disclosed. The agitation method drives entrapped air voids (44) out of the surgical fluid and forces the fluid into a plurality of pores (130) of various sizes in the adjacent bone (100). The vibrating apparatus (10) in one embodiment includes a probe tip (30) disposed upon a graspable elongate shaft (20) and a series of fins (34) extending into the fluid. The apparatus in one embodiment may include a set of probe tips of different shapes and sizes. The agitation and interdigitation method may facilitate any procedure involving any type of surgical fluid, with or without a prosthetic device such as an intramedullary nail (356) or femoral prosthesis (358).</p> |
