S. Toksviglarsen et al., EFFECT OF A COOLED SAW BLADE ON PROSTHESIS FIXATION - RANDOMIZED RADIOSTEREOMETRY OF 33 KNEE CASES, Acta orthopaedica Scandinavica, 65(5), 1994, pp. 533-537
Tibial migration in 33 cementless total knee replacements, which were
performed with a cooled saw blade vs. a conventional blade, was studie
d in a randomized prospective study using roentgen stereophotogrammetr
ic analysis (radiostereometry). All cases were clinically successful a
fter 2 years and inducible displacement was smaller in the group opera
ted with the cooled saw blade. This group also had a tendency towards
less continuous migration.
