Introduction:
Although the use of cementless implants in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased in recent years, there is still ongoing debate regarding the optimal method of fixation. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the evidence regarding cementless versus cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with regard to: (1) all-cause survivorship and aseptic survivorship; and (2) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of newer generation TKAs.
Materials And Methods:
A systematic review of all reports on cementless TKA published from January 2010 to February 2019 was performed. A total of 221 articles were evaluated and 39 studies met inclusion criteria for final analysis. Metrics evaluated included all-cause survivorship, aseptic survivorship, and Knee Society Scores (KSS).
Results:
Modern cementless TKA provides excellent survivorship and patient-reported outcomes as compared to cemented designs.
Conclusions:
Recent studies have demonstrated that newer generation cementless TKAs provide similar functional outcomes and survivorship as compared to cemented TKA. However, additional prospective, randomized trials with long-term follow up are necessary to further compare the outcomes of cementless versus cemented TKA.
