Description
Ali Darwich and a team of co-authors compare two ways to fix the stem of a replacement knee during a redo operation. Their review is from two thousand twenty-three. Redo knee surgery is growing more common, and surgeons add a stem down the bone for stability. The stem can be glued in with cement or fitted to grip the bone directly.
Thirty-five studies with at least two years of follow-up were pooled. Fourteen compared the two methods head to head. Rates of further surgery, failure, loosening without infection, and infection were much the same for both. One gap stood out: faint lines on X-rays around the implant were more common with cement. Patient outcome scores did not differ. The authors find no winner between the methods.
