Bone grafting in primary uncemented total knee arthroplasty.
Forty-two uncemented ICLH and Freeman Samuelson knee replacements that required bone grafting for tibial defects were studied before and after operation. The pattern of bone loss, the techniques of grafting, and the soft tissue releases required are described. Union of the graft was observed in 98% of cases, confirming the value of bone grafting in the reconstruction of the deformed, arthritic knee.
