    This prospective, nonrandomized, single-institution study compared 55 cemented and 54 cementless TKAs using the same implant design.

    The cementless femoral component was 3D-printed Ti6Al4V with a highly porous bone-facing surface designed to promote osseointegration.

  • 3

    Cohort allocation reflected surgeon preference, and cementless recipients were younger and had lower BMI than cemented recipients.

  • 4

    At 24 months, investigators assessed joint awareness with the Forgotten Joint Score-12 and knee function with the Oxford Knee Score.

    The study hypothesized that mean joint awareness would not differ by fixation, but that the proportion with the poorest outcomes would differ.
