- Broaching:      

    - broaching for cementless stems 
    - is usually started w/ the smaller broach or w/ broach 2 sizes smaller than templated during preop planning 
    - determination of anteversion 

    - exposure considerations:
           - with smaller incisions, there will be a tendency of the broach to abraid against the skin;
           - apply a surgical towel here to avoid skin trauma;
           - Decreases in pulmonary artery oxygen saturation during total hip arthroplasty variations using 2 leg positioning techniques.
    - remove soft medial cancellous bone:
           - stems placed in valgus will have a thicker mantale of soft medial cancellous bone;
           - failure to remove soft cancellous bone from medial surface of femoral neck will prevent the cement column from resting on a dense cancellous
                 support bed and may lead to early loosening; 
    - pulse lavage the canal:
           - pulse lavage the canel to remove marrow and fat elements;
           - references:

                 - Fat embolism and respiratory distress associated with cemented femoral arthroplasty.
    - avoid over sizing the broach:
           - if much resistance is met inserting the broach for the size chosen preoperatively, surgeon should then choose next smaller size femoral stem
                     rather than risk intraoperative femur frx;
           - be especially aware of potential for fracture in osteoporotic patients as occured in this patient w/ cerebral palsy who was non wt bearing on operative side;

                 
    - the final broach is used a femoral trial;

    - avoid varus positiong:
           - varus positioning is avoided by keeping the lateral edge of the broach up against the greater trochanter and by aiming the broach at the medial femoral condyle
