Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) launched a study to compare outcomes of a modern cementless knee implant to the standard knee implant that requires bone cement for fixation.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) launched a study to compare outcomes of a modern cementless knee implant to the standard knee implant that requires bone cement for fixation.
  • "In a cementless total knee replacement, you do not have to wait for the cement to harden and dry like you do in a cemented knee replacement," explained Brian P. Chalmers, MD , hip and knee surgeon at HSS and study co-author.
  • "With the cementless knee replacement, the components are press fit into place for 'biologic fixation,' which basically means the bone will grow into the implant.
  • "The biggest question now is whether or not cementless total knee replacement will have better long-term durability and fixation than cemented knee replacement," Dr. Chalmers said.
