[Cementless fixation in endoprosthetics].

M A Freeman, G T Railton

    Der Orthopade
    |June 1, 1987

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Polymethylmethacrylate cement has historically been used for prosthesis fixation but often fails. Modern cementless fixation methods, prioritizing stable press-fit, are now preferred for better implant stability and outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomaterials science

    Context:

    • Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement has been the standard for skeletal prosthesis fixation for decades.
    • Numerous PMMA-fixed prostheses have experienced long-term failure, leading to scrutiny of the material.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of cementless endoprosthesis fixation methods.
    • To emphasize the critical role of stable press-fit in implant fixation.

    Summary:

    • This paper argues that stable press-fit is the most crucial factor for successful implant fixation.
    • Alternative fixation techniques, including porous ingrowth, are discussed.
    • Evidence supporting improved immediate clinical results from porous ingrowth is limited.

    Impact:
