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. |
