English term or phrase: ported
Could you please explain what it means?

Total Hip Prosthesis - femoral stem component
"The stems are available in a number of surface structure styles such as normalized, ported, with an arc deposited coating or with Hydroxylapatite Surface Treatment™."


More context:

XXX Series of Hip Stems are available in an array of styles and sizes to accommodate various total hip surgical requirements. The stems are available in a number of surface structure styles such as normalized, ported, with an arc deposited coating or with Hydroxylapatite Surface Treatment™. The type of surface structure for this component is indicated on the primary package label. The selection of the appropriate femoral stem component is dependent upon the type of arthroplasty intended, bone geometry and the type of fixation.

Selected answer:with spaces for injection of cement etc.
Explanation:
The stem has small holes on each side so that cement for fixing can be injected into it.

Mechanical testing of the stem, using a three-point bend test, showed that the addition of cement injection ports on the anterior and posterior sides of the body of the proximal stem did not reduce its strength.

Yes, you are right. Thanks a lot!
Here is the client explanation:

Proximally, the stem contains an axial port with exit ports along the sagittal and lateral aspects of the implant. Cement is extruded through these holes and allows for complete backfilling of the proximal cavity.
