Abstract
The increasing trend for uncemented joint prostheses has led to some concerns regarding fixation and the search for methods that may enhance it. Of the currently available bioactive ceramics, Hy-droxyapatite (HA) remains the one with the most clinical use. We report early results of an unce-mented total knee arthroplasty demonstrating excellent fixation at 2 and 5 years. Early clinical re-sults are promising and no complications attributable to the HA or fixation are seen. There has been no early loosening. Comparison with a similar series of implants with similar geometry shows in-creased osseointegration with HA coating. With fluoroscopic imaging, the HA coated bone-prosthesis interfaces are seen to reliably fill in with bony tissue by 2 years. There are less lucent lines visible, if any, in the HA coated prosthesis.
