Bone grafting in cemented knee replacement:45 primary and secondary cases followed for 2-5 years

Abstract

From 1989 through 1993, we treated 36 knees in 30 patients by bone grafting (31 tibial and 14 femoral grafts) and a cemented total knee prosthesis. We used 23 morsellized and 22 solid bone grafts. After a mean follow-up period of 3 years, the mean clinical (IKS) knee score was 90. Radiographic signs of incorporation of the tibial bone graft were noted in 28 cases. Of the 8 solid femoral bone grafts, we observed twice a disintegration of the graft.
