Proximally cemented versus uncemented Freeman-Samuelson knee arthroplasty. A prospective randomised study

BE Albrektsson, LV Carlsson, MA Freeman, P Herberts, and L Ryd

Department of Orthopaedics, Ostra Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.

We studied the effect of a layer of cement placed under the tibial component of Freeman-Samuelson total knee prostheses with a metal back and an 80 mm intramedullary stem, using roentgen stereophotogrammetry to measure the migration of the tibial component during one year in 13 uncemented and 16 cemented knees. The addition of cement produced a significant reduction in migration at one year, from a mean of 1.5 mm to one of 0.5 mm (p less than 0.01), including a significant reduction in pure subsidence. One year postoperatively the clinical results were similar between the groups, but, at three years, one uncemented knee had required revision.
