RSA Outcomes of Tibial
Components at 2 Years
•Cemented Fixation = Smaller Displacement
•with and without hydroxyapatite

However - Future Risk?
•the risk of future aseptic loosening with
uncemented fixation was approximately half
that of cemented fixation according to the
arthroplasty instability classification
–RR 0.47, 95% CI 0.24-0.92
–16% absolute risk between groups
Future Risk for Revision (OA)
•Uncemented Fixation
–Thirteen people out of 100 had a future prediction
of arthroplasty instability.
•Cemented Fixation
–Twenty-nine people out of 100 had a future
prediction of arthroplasty instability with
cemented fixation.

Discussion
•Although results for non-cemented
fixation in TKR are improving, level I,
II and III evidences are still in favor of
cemented fixation
14
Technique
1. Proper exposure with adequate length of incision
2. Avoid cutting the quadriceps tendon in oblique direction
(medial-lateral plain)
3. Reduced Tissue Trauma Surgery (RTTS), no tourniquet
except for cementing
4. Deliver the tibia in front of the femur (Ran-Sal maneuver)
5. Preserve supra-patellar pouch, coagulate lateral genicular
artery
6. 8 to 10 mm tibial cut from the uninvolved side, identify the
cortex off the tibial cut
7. Adequate rotation, alignment, lateralization and restoration
of the posterior offset of the femoral component
15
Technique
8. Pulsatile lavage the cut surfaces to clean the cancellous bone
9. Drill holes in the sclerotic bone surface
10.Heated Simplex cement at doughy state
11.Apply cement on the bone surfaces including posterior femoral
condyles and pressurize, apply cement on the components as
well
12.Apply manual constant pressure
13.Remove excess cement from posterior femoral condyles, tibia
and patella (if resurfaced)
14.Further pressurization in extension with trial insert
15.Release the tourniquet and thorough irrigation
16.Closure in flexion without tourniquet and with good
approximation of dermal layer

Conclusion
Cemented fixation remains the
“Gold Standard” in TKR at
present

•Cemented TKR patients under 55
–Survival rates from 85-95% at 10-18 years

•TKR in younger patients increasing !!
–Greatest increase in <65 and <45 year-old groups
–Kurtz et al.

Cement in TKR
•Additional interface to fail
•3rd body wear-failure mode
•Most durable long-term fixation
is osseointegration
•Increasingly, surgeons are
eager to embrace

Why Cementless TKR ?
•Patients younger & more active
•Demand for OR efficiency
•Established long-term success via biologic fixation
•Past problems identified and correctable
•Improved biomaterials for fixation and wear

Reason?
Oxide structurally reinforce the texture
asperities
more resistant to shear
Hardened textured surface abrades bone
rather than becoming abraded with press-
fit insertion
self-grafting effect

Conclusions
Chemically textured surfaces do not
inhibit bone growth
Chemically textured and oxidized Zr-
2.5Nb is equivalent to or better than other
clinically available biological fixation
surfaces
