Abstract
There is concern for cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) due to the potential increase in complications, namely failed in-growth or future aseptic loosening. Some data suggest that advances in cementless prostheses mitigate these risks; however this is not yet born out in long-term registry data. It is crucial to expand our understanding of the prevalence and etiology of osteoporosis in TKA patients, survivorship of cementless implants in decreased BMD, role of bone-modifying agents, indications and technical considerations for cementless TKA in patients with decreased BMD. The purpose of this study is to review current literature and expert opinion on such topics.
