<p>A cement mold (10) for use in forming a temporary orthopedic implant used in an orthopedic surgical procedure. The cement mold (10) includes first and second molds to define first and second portions of the temporary implant. A coupling mechanism joins the first mold to the second mold such that the cement mold (10) is substantially sealed to define the temporary implant. The cement mold (10) further defines an input port (66) which is operable to receive the delivery nozzle to supply antibiotic loaded bone cement within an inner sidewall of the cement mold (10). At least one ventilation port (76) is defined by the cement mold (10) which is operable to vent trapped air upon filling the cement mold (10) with the cement through the input port (66). The cement mold (10) further includes a removal mechanism which is operable to assist in tearing and separating the cement mold (10) from the temporary implant.</p> |
