Uncemented vs cemented cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty in patients with body mass index > 30
Journal of Arthroplasty Dec 06, 2017
Boyle KK, et al. - In patients who underwent a cemented or uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a cruciate retaining (CR) knee prosthesis and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, a clinical and radiographic review was performed, focusing on the incidence of revision due to aseptic loosening of the tibial baseplate, revision for any reason, incidence of radiolucent lines around the tibial baseplate, range of motion, and patient reported outcomes. In obese patients undergoing either an uncemented or cemented TKA, researchers observed similar survivorship of this CR design for aseptic loosening of the tibial baseplate and overall revision rates. Furthermore, comparable clinical and radiographic short to mid-term outcomes were observed in both the groups, when implanted in good alignment when treating end stage knee osteoarthritis.
