Similar 2 year clinical outcomes with cemented and cementless implant fixation in TKA .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Cemented Versus Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty of the Same Modern Design: A Prospective, Randomized Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2019 Jul 3;101(13):1185-1192.147 patients scheduled for a primary total knee arthroplasty for arthritis were randomized to receive the same cruciate-retaining implant with either cemented fixation or cementless, biological fixation. The primary outcome of interest was the Oxford Knee Score (OKS). Secondary outcomes of interest included the Knee Society Score (KSS), the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), the percentage of normal knee function, overall health rating, satisfaction with overall function, radiographic outcomes, the incidence of of failure or component subsidence, and the incidence of revision. Follow up was performed at 4-6 weeks, 1 year and 2 years post-operation. Results revealed no significant differences in OKS, KSS, FJS, or the percentage of normal knee function between the two groups at all time points. There were no significant differences in overall health rating or the satisfaction with overall function at 2 years. No cases of failure or component subsidence were reported. 1 case of revision was reported in the cemented group. The mean thicknesses of the clear zones around the tibial and femoral components were significantly larger in the cementless group.
