Femoral BMD Change Following Cemented or Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty

The cemented approach includes inserting cement into the femur and tibia prior to setting the prosthetic.

The non-cement approach uses a different type of prosthetic that is placed tight against the bone and requires no other fixation material.

The manual approach is the surgeon determining prosthetic placement using techniques developed during training.

The haptic robotic assisted approach uses a computer and robot to determine specific placement of the prosthetic.
