title: The clamp fixation method in cemented total knee arthroplasty. Dynamic experimental and radiographic studies of the tibial baseplate clamper.
abstract: The clamp fixation method using the Tibial Baseplate Clamper in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a superior procedure compared to conventional cement fixation methods. A dynamic experimental study and a radiographic study were performed to make sure the efficiency of the clamp fixation method was satisfactory. As a result, this procedure showed the large initial pressure force and a lack of variance in the force applied over time, and also it had a large depth of cement penetration compare to the pusher method. The clamp fixation method will help the surgeon achieve excellent cement fixation in TKAs because it has the many advantages of a gentle, yet strong, constant, and, most importantly, simple approach surgeons can use to reduce operating time while cementing all three prostheses simultaneously.
