Cemented vs. Cement-Less Knee Replacement: Which is Best? #shorts

For decades, cemented knee replacements have been the gold standard. Bone cement is used to fix the implant in place, providing immediate stability. As more active and younger patients need knee replacements, cementless options are gaining traction. Cementless implants have porous surfaces that allow your bone to grow into them over time. This biological fixation can potentially last longer, especially in more active patients. It's like your knee becomes one with the implant!

Cemented Total #kneereplacement pros:
• Immediate stability
• Proven long-term success
Cemented cons:
• Cement can break down over time
• May not be "ideal" for very active patients
.
Cementless pros:
• Potential for longer-lasting fixation
• No cement breakdown
Cementless #totalkneereplacement cons:
• Possible longer initial recovery
• Risk of early loosening if bone doesn't grow in

Recent studies show similar outcomes between the two at 5-10 yrs, but cementless implants may be gaining a slight edge in younger patients long-term. Bottom line? Both options can provide excellent outcomes. The choice often comes down to factors several personal like (Age, Activity level, Bone quality, Surgeon preference). 🦵 Every knee is unique! Your orthopedic surgeon will help determine the best option for YOU. #totalkneereplacement #insideoperatingroom
