The effect of cement viscosity in total knee arthroplasty
(2012)Aseptic loosening of the tibial implant remains one of the major reasons of failure in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Currently, there is no consensus on the role that cement viscosity at the time of application to the ... -
Failure analysis of surrogate tibial constructs with medium and fast setting bone cements
(Elsevier, 2013)One of the major reasons of failure in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is aseptic loosening of the tibial implant. Currently, cement viscosity’s role in ensuring the long-term success of the arthroplasty is not clear. We ... -
Investigation of the effect of cement viscosity in total knee arthroplasty using digital image correlation
(2011)Approximately 581,000 knee replacements are performed in the United States each year. Micromotion at the bone-cement and cement-implant interfaces causes bone resorption and loosening of the ...
