Knee Joint

3.7K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Summary

Uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is gaining interest due to advances in technique and design. Despite some conflicting data, its success rate is comparable to cemented TKA, though cemented fixation remains preferred by most surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is experiencing a resurgence after decades of lower usage compared to cemented techniques.
  • Advances in prosthetic design, surgical instrumentation, and operative procedures are driving this renewed interest in TKA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
  • To compare the outcomes, including survival rates and revision rates, of uncemented TKA with cemented TKA.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies comparing cemented and uncemented total knee arthroplasty.
  • Analysis of reported survival and revision rates in the existing body of research.

Main Results:

  • While some studies present conflicting data, the majority of the literature indicates that uncemented TKA achieves success rates comparable to cemented TKA.
  • Despite comparable outcomes, cemented fixation remains the preferred method for TKA among the majority of orthopedic surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • Uncemented TKA demonstrates comparable success rates to cemented TKA, supported by recent advancements.
  • The debate regarding optimal fixation in TKA continues, with a prevailing preference for cemented methods among surgeons.
