Abstract Background In cemented primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), aseptic loosening remains a major cause for failure. Cementing techniques and characteristics of a chosen cement play a key role for good fixation and implant survival. A pastry bone cement was developed to facilitate the cement preparation and to rule out most of preparation-associated application errors. The pastry bone cement was compared to a conventional polymethyl methacrylate cement in a TKA setting. Methods Standardized implantations of total knee endoprostheses were performed in bilateral knee cadavers to investigate handling properties, variables of cement application, working time, and temperature development. Mechanical aspects and cementation quality were assessed by pull-out trials and microscopic interface analysis. Results Both cements expressed similar characteristics during preparation and application, only the curing time of the pastry cement was about 3 min longer and the temperature peak was lower. Fractures of the conventional cement specimens differed from the pastry cement specimens in the tibial part, while no differences were found in the femoral part. Penetration depth of the pastry cement was similar (tibia) or deeper (femur) compared to the conventional cement. Conclusions The pastry cement facilitates the feasibility of cemented TKA. The pre-clinical tests indicate that the pastry bone cement fulfills the requirements for bone cement in the field of knee arthroplasty. A clinical trial is needed to further investigate the approach and ensure patient safety.

Introduction. Mechanical alignment deviation after total knee arthroplasty is a major reason for early loosening of the prosthesis. Achieving optimum cement penetration during fixation of the femoral and tibial component is an essential step in performing a successful total knee arthroplasty. Bone cement is used to solidify the bone and prosthesis. Thickness imbalance of bone cement leads to the deviation of mechanical alignment. To estimate the influence of bone cement, a retrospective study was conducted.Materials and Methods. A total of 36 subjects were studied. All the TKA were performed following the standard surgical protocol for navigated surgery by medial approach with general anaesthesia. Prostheses were fixed by bone cement.Results. We compared the mechanical axis, flexion/extension, and gap balance before and after cementation. All the factors were different compared with those before and after cementation. Internal rotation was reached with statistical significance (P=0.03).Conclusion. Bone cement can influence the mechanical axis, flexion/extension, and gap balance. It also can prompt us to make a change when poor knee kinematics were detected before cementation.

Abstract Background Newer generation cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs have provided stronger osteointegration between the implant and bone. Despite excellent survivorship and outcomes with cemented TKAs, areas of concern within the bone–cement interface remain a concern and necessitate studies on alternative constructs. This study assesses: (1) implant survivorship; (2) clinical outcomes; and (3) complications with radiographic outcomes at a 5-year minimum follow-up of cementless highly porous titanium-coated baseplates in TKAs. Methods Part of this study has been reported. We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected database at a single high-volume institution between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014 for patients who underwent a primary TKA using cementless highly porous titanium-coated baseplate implants. Patients were evaluated clinically at postoperative follow-up visits at a minimum of 5 years. To calculate the survivorship, Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to determine all-cause, aseptic, and septic implant survivorship at each final follow-up for all patients. Results A total of 228 TKAs were performed and followed for a minimum of 5 years (range, 5–6 years). As of the latest follow-up, one case of septic loosening of the patellar button and one case of patellar dislodgment secondary to physical manipulation were recorded and revised. Overall, the cohort displayed implant survivorship of 99.5% at 5-year minimum follow-up. Improvements were seen in both Knee Society pain and function scores and were 37 points (range, 17–60 points) and 28 points (range, 15–47 points), respectively. The mean improvement in flexion was 17.8 (range, –20 to 40 degrees) and mean improvement in extension was –5.5 (range, –30 to 5 degrees). Discussion Cementless TKAs serve as strong alternative choice to cemented TKAs. Although cemented fixation is commonly known as the gold standard, results of this study confirm the findings of previous investigations on the survivorship of cementless TKA implants. Therefore, patients who undergo primary TKA with a cementless tritanium baseplate can expect excellent clinical outcomes at a 5-year minimum follow-up.
