Zusammenfassung:Apparatuses, kits, and methods for cementing an orthopedic implant to a bone, post attachment, are disclosed in some aspects of the present disclosure. A kit can include a prosthetic component and a cement applicator. The prosthetic component can include an attachment profile that corresponds to a mating profile formed on or in a bone. The cement applicator can be configured to apply a bone cement between the bone and the prosthetic component following alignment between the prosthetic component and the bone or another prosthetic component. The kit can also include a bone cement. A method can include positioning the prosthetic component adjacent to the bone, aligning the prosthetic component relative to the bone or another prosthetic component, and applying a bone cement between the bone and the aligned prosthetic component.
