Efficacy of cementless porous tantalum tibial components versus cemented tibial components in primary total knee arthroplasty: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total knee arthroplasty involves the use of cemented tibial components for fixation. In recent years, cementless porous tantalum tibial components have been increasingly utilized. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of cementless porous tantalum tibial components with traditional cemented tibial components in terms of postoperative outcomes following total knee arthroplasty.

Methods

Relevant literature was retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science using the search terms "(trabecular metal OR Porous tantalum)" AND "knee" up to July 2023. The weighted mean difference with a 95% confidence interval was used as the effect size measure to evaluate the functional recovery of the knee joint, radiological analysis, complicat
