A temporary femoral implant system has a porous mold and a femoral
component. The system fits at least partially in a femoral cavity. The
mold has a wall with an interior surface and an exterior surface forming
an interior space for receiving an antibiotic bone cement. The mold
allows the antibiotic to diffuse through the wall to the exterior
surface. The femoral component has a stem portion received within the
mold. A method of using the implant system includes providing an implant
system comprising a mold and a femoral component, inserting the mold into
the femoral cavity with the exterior surface facing the femoral cavity,
inserting the stem portion of a femoral component into the interior space
of the mold and filling the interior space of the mold with an antibiotic
bone cement.
