Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate perioperative and short-term clinical and radiographical results of a modern PS mobile-bearing cementless TKA system. Methods A retrospective review of a consecutive series of TKAs was performed by a single surgeon using a cementless or cemented TKA of the same design (Attune, DePuy Synthes, Massachusetts, USA). The 2011 Knee Society Score, Forgotten Joint Score-12, Hip-Knee-Ankle angle, and the presence of radiolucent lines (RLLs) were reviewed 1-year postoperatively with 1:1 matching performed for age, gender, body mass index, and preoperative UCLA score. Fisher's exact test or independent Student's t-test were used for statistical analyses. Results Forty-ive cementless and 45 cemented TKAs were reviewed after 1:1 matching. The mean operative time was 8.8 min shorter (P < .01), and the mean amount of drainage was 40.0 ml greater (P = .04) in the cementless cohort. At 1-year postoperatively, there were no signiicant diferences in both cohorts in 2011 Knee Scores and Forgotten Joint Scores-12, with no patients requiring revision surgery (NS). The incidence of RLLs was signiicantly higher in cementless TKAs (51%) than that in cemented TKAs (22%, P < .01). However, the mean width of RLLs in the cementless TKAs (0.2 mm) was signiicantly smaller (P < .01) than that in the cemented TKAs (0.8 mm) at 1-year postoperatively with no progression. Conclusion A recently introduced cementless PS mobile-bearing TKA design demonstrated comparable postoperative and radiographical results to its cemented predecessor at 1-year follow-up. Level of Evidence Retrospective cohort study, Level III.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
