Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone Versus Traditional Implant For Total Knee Arthroplasty .
Consequences of using poly-ether-ether-ketone versus traditional implant on tibial cement penetration and short-term clinical outcomes during total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.
J Orthop Surg Res . 2023 Aug 9;18(1):589.48 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive either a poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK; n=24) knee prosthesis or a traditional cobalt chromium molybdenum knee prosthesis (CoCrMo; n=24). Outcomes of interest included operative time, tourniquet time, length of stay, cement penetration, pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Knee Society Score (KSS) clinical and functional score, and incidence of complications. All outcomes were similar between the two groups.
