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 .
Survival analysis of a cementless, cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. Clinical and radiographic assessment 10 to 13 years after surgery.
We performed a prospect i ve study of 54 patients ( 76 knees ) who underwent Osteonics series 3000 cruciate-retaining cementless total knee arthroplasty between December 1990 and June 1993 . Five patients ( seven knees ) were lost to follow-up ( 90.7 % completion ) . One patient required revision at 10.5 years after operation . The rate of survival was 100 % at ten years and 96.7 % at 13 years . The mean ten-year knee and function scores were 79 and 59 respectively . Both were significantly better than the pre-operative scores . The range of movement also improved . Although a radiolucent line around the tibial component enlarged in six knees ( 20.7 % ) at ten years , the clinical outcome was generally good . In a patient who died after 5.5 years , post-mortem examination of the knee showed no bony ingrowth into the tibial component . Despite poor bony ingrowth , press-fit fixation was satisfactory and good results can be obtained with this cementless , cruciate-retaining prosthesis
