No difference in 5-year survivorship between cemented versus cementless total knee arthroplasty in a cohort of 5266 patients using a deep-dish mobile bearing implant.

Summary: When getting a knee replacement, doctors have to attach the new artificial joint to your bone. They can use special bone cement to glue it in place, or they can use a "cementless" joint that your bone naturally grows into. Which way is better?

Researchers looked at over 5,000 patients who had knee replacements to find out. After five years, both methods worked just as well! The knees lasted the same amount of time, and patients felt equally good when walking and moving. This means both choices are safe, effective, and excellent options for fixing a bad knee.
