AAOS2017: Despite early tibia bedding-in, similar stability with cementless v cemented UKA
Cementless Fixation of Mobile Bearing Unicompartmental Knee Replacement has Reliable Component Stability at Five Years
48 patients scheduled for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty were randomized to either cementless or cemented fixation.
