Extended sagittal saw cut significantly reduces fracture load in cementless unicompartmental knee arthroplasty compared to cemented tibia plateaus: an experimental cadaver study

Abstract

The loading capacity in tibiae with cementless components is significantly less compared to cemented fixation. The results show that in case of an extended sagittal bone cut patients especially those with poor bone quality who are treated with a cementless unicompartmental knee arthroplasty are at higher risk for periprosthetic tibial fractures.
