Parker 2001.

Methods RCT. Unknown randomization technique. Blinding not stated. 
Participants Osteoarthrosis: 99 participants (100 knees). Average age: 66.7 years. Thirty‐three participants were lost.
Interventions One hundred MGI total knee replacements (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana) were performed in 99 participants randomized to either cementless or hybrid fixation. In all of the cases, femoral fixation was a cementless porous design. Tibial fixation was randomized to either cemented or cementless, and patellar fixation paralleled the tibial component.
Outcomes HSS knee score, Knee Society knee score, failure rate and reasons for failure.
Notes Duration of follow‐up: 12 years. Differences in the outcome between the two groups were not sufficiently significant to recommend one method of fixation over another.

RCT = randomoized controlled trial

RSA = roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis

WOMAC = Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index 

HKA = hip‐knee‐ankle‐angle

HSS = Hospital for Special Surgery knee score

MGI total knee replacement = Miller‐Galante I total knee replacement
