Implant survivorship for cementless TKA was comparable to the current gold st and ard cemented TKAs
Cementless  total knee arthroplasty ( TKA )  has had limited use in the United States , however , recent reports have demonstrated promising results , but there has been no meta- analysis to examine these outcomes in the past 5 years .
Proximally cemented versus uncemented Freeman-Samuelson knee arthroplasty. A prospective randomised study.
We studied the effect of a layer of cement placed under the tibial component of Freeman-Samuelson total knee prostheses  with a metal back and an 80 mm intramedullary stem , using roentgen stereophotogrammetry to measure the migration of the tibial component during one year in 13 uncemented and 16 cemented knees . The addition of cement produced a significant reduction in migration at one year , from a mean of 1.5 mm to one of 0.5 mm ( p less than 0.01 ) , including a significant reduction in pure subsidence . One year postoperatively the clinical results were similar between the groups , but , at three years , one uncemented knee had required revision
