Cemented, Uncemented TKA With Patella Resurfacing Had Similar Outcomes .
Cemented and uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with patellar resurfacing appear to yield similar clinical outcomes, according to recent findings. Patients in both fixation groups demonstrated comparable results in function, pain relief, and overall postoperative recovery, suggesting that either approach may be effective when combined with patellar resurfacing. Cemented fixation has long been considered the standard in TKA, while modern uncemented designs aim to achieve durable biologic fixation through bone ingrowth. The comparable outcomes highlight how advances in implant technology and surgical technique are narrowing differences between fixation strategies. These findings support continued individualized decision-making based on patient factors, bone quality, and surgeon preference when selecting fixation methods in knee arthroplasty.
