Bone Cement DANGERS in Knee Replacement #shorts

🦿 Cemented vs Cementless Total Knee Replacement - The majority of knee replacements use cement. In cemented #totalkneearthroplasty (TKA), bone cement acts like grout, creating a strong immediate bond between the implant and your bone. This tried-and-true technique allows for faster recovery and immediate weight-bearing. The cement also contains antibiotics, providing an extra layer of infection protection. #Orthopedics #JointReplacement
.
Cementless implants, featuring special porous surfaces, rely on your bone growing into them for fixation. While this biological fixation can potentially last longer, it requires excellent bone quality and takes time to develop - often reserved for younger, more active patients with strong bones. Advantages of cemented TKA:
✅ Immediate stability
✅ Works well with all bone types
✅ Lower early failure rates
✅ Antibiotic protection
Cementless TKA benefits:
🔹 Potential for longer-lasting biological fixation
🔹 No cement degradation
🔹 Shorter operating time
Recent studies show that proper cementing technique is crucial for success, including:
📍 Thorough bone preparation
📍 Precise cement mixing
📍 Proper timing
📍 Adequate pressurization
Whether cemented or cementless, both options have shown excellent long-term results when used in the right patients. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your age, bone quality, and activity level. #bonecement #totalkneereplacementsurgery

I am having a revision right knee replacement. I developed late hematogenous infection from UTI so I will have cement with antibiotics.

[jondstewart]

I’ve had both knees replaced, one was seven months ago and the other one was one year and seven months ago. I doubt if it matters now. If I need revision surgery to remove the cracked cement or whatever, so be it.

[LawrenceKopp-pg]

Sounds like having the bone grow into the metal would be much better since the cement breaks down anyway.

[tomlovinggood]

Would Elmer's Glue work any better?

[liliagarcia]

What about plastic implants, do you also use cement?

[TheMooresNashville]

I want whatever works. If the there is a 2nd criteria then which option allows the best options for a revision surgery.

[Paulie]

I have no idea if cement was used on my knee. Doctor never mention it me..😊

[jerico]

I used to fabricated those parts at Stryker ortho of Mahwah Nj

Doesn’t answer the obvious question? Don’t think I’m using you.
