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 .
Cement Versus Cementless Fixation In Total Knee Arthroplasty
A prospect ively studied group of 55 uncemented Press Fit Condylar total knee arthroplasties was compared retrospectively with a matched group of 51 cemented Press Fit Condylar total knee arthroplasties  at a mean of 10 years after operation . For the cemented group , the pain and function scores improved from 32 and 45 preoperatively to 95 and 77 , respectively . For the uncemented group the scores improved from 33 and 50 preoperatively to 93 and 60 , respectively . There were 10 revisions in the uncemented group for femoral or tibial aseptic loosening or osteolysis compared with two revisions in the cemented group . Exclusive of problems related to patellar metal backing , survival to revision for aseptic failure or radiographic loosening was 72 % in the uncemented group and 94 % in the cemented group at 10 years . A significantly higher revision rate was found in the uncemented compared with cemented total knee arthroplasty of the Press Fit Condylar design
