“…In addition, when using implants with rough surfaces, higher insertion forces are needed that may lead to periprosthetic fractures 114 . Some authors suggest creating small drill holes in sclerotic bone areas to stress-relax the host bone during tight interference impaction of the final implants 115 . Conversely, early rigid fixation can be secured with the traditional cemented technique.…”

» 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.
