Abstract
Osteolysis induced by particulate debris occurs within 5 years after cementless total knee arthroplasty, but has not been reported to be a problem after cemented total knee arthroplasty. It has been suggested that the bone-cement interface may form a barrier to polyethylene-debris migration, thereby limiting bone loss. The authors have observed osteolysis in a 75-year-old woman 9 years after cemented total knee arthroplasty. An osteolytic area appeared to return to an area of normal bone architecture 3 years after the removal of synovium and particulate debris without implant revision.
