Methods and devices for applying bone cement to orthopedic prostheses to enhance bond strength

An apparatus for forming a flowable material against a prosthetic implant, the apparatus comprising:

• a mold body having an outer surface and an inner surface;
• the inner surface defining a mold cavity that is selectively configured to at least partially accept the prosthetic implant in a forming position, and having a pair of ears that define passages and extend from a perimeter wall of the mold body;
• a locking bar that is removably received into the passages;
• a membrane removably disposed on the inner surface defining the mold cavity;
• wherein the mold cavity substantially conforms to a profile of a bone opposing surface of the prosthetic implant such that a void is created between the membrane and the bone opposing surface of the prosthetic implant;
• a first inlet port configured on the mold body that extends between the inner and outer surfaces;
• and
• a second inlet port configured on the membrane that extends between the first inlet port configured on the mold body and the void;
• wherein the first and second inlet ports are configured to permit introduction of the flowable material into the void and against the bone opposing surface of the prosthetic implant.
