Cementless vs. Cemented Total Knee Arthroplasty: Reduced Operative Time with Comparable Perioperative Safety-A Retrospective Cohort from a Tertiary Care Center.

ABSTRACT: Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed and highly successful procedure, with cemented fixation historically considered the standard. Advances in implant design have renewed interest in cementless fixation, which shows comparable survivorship and increasing use, particularly in younger patients. Evidence on perioperative outcomes remains mixed, prompting this study to compare hemoglobin decline and operative time between cemented and cementless TKA of the same design. Methods: This monocentric retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing primary TKA between 2019 and 2021, divided into cemented and cementless groups. Inclusion criteria were primary osteoarthritis, age > 45 years, hemoglobin > 13 g/dL, ferritin > 100 ng/mL, and com
