Notes:
Improved cement technique by interposing less than two layers of hydroxyapatite(HA) granules between bone and bone cement at the cementing (Interface Bioactive BoneCement : IBBC) have been performed in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). 140 knees (120patients) could be followed up clinically and radiologically. As a control, clinical results ofTKA with conventional cementing (Non-IBBC) were used. In IBBC cases, the appearancerate of the radiolucent lines on the tibial components and the periprosthetic osteolysis of thetibial components were significantly low. In IBBC, bone cement bound to HA mechanicallyimmediately after surgery and HA granules bound to the bone physicochemically after boneingrowth into the spaces around the HA granules. Thus, we believe that IBBC is a methodcombining the advantage of cementless HA coating and bone cement
