Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty: A State-of-the-Art Review

Yasir AlShehri et al. JBJS Rev. .

Abstract

» The demographic profile of candidates for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is shifting toward younger and more active individuals.» While cemented fixation remains the gold standard in TKA, the interest is growing in exploring cementless fixation as a potentially more durable alternative.» Advances in manufacturing technologies are enhancing the prospects for superior long-term biological fixation.» Current research indicates that intermediate to long-term outcomes of modern cementless TKA designs are comparable with traditional cemented designs.» The selection of appropriate patients is critical to the success of cementless fixation techniques in TKA.» There is a need for high-quality research to better understand the potential differences and relative benefits of cemented vs. cementless TKA systems.
