Cementless Versus Cemented Total Knee Arthroplasty of the Same Design: Shorter Operative Times and Minimal Differences in Early Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Modern primary cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasingly popular, but there is limited evidence on its benefits, early complications, and failures. Purpose: We sought to evaluate operative time, early survivorship, and outcomes of cementless versus cemented TKA of the same design. Methods: As part of this single-center, multisurgeon, retrospective cohort study, we reviewed 598 primary, unilateral TKAs (170 cementless, 428 cemented) of the same design from 2016 to 2018. The cementless cohort was younger (63 vs 67 years) and had more cruciate-retaining implants (17% vs 12%) compared with the cemented cohort. We compared operative time, length of stay, and complications. Survivorship curves were generated via the Kaplan-Meier method. Result
