This article provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of cemented and non-cemented implants from a biological and biomechanical perspective.
Hip fractures in elderly patients are an arising problem due to aging of population and still represent a controversial challenge for orthopedic surgeon who should help achieve the best functional recovery in the shortest time. Cementation in hip replacement plays an important role, but it should be carefully planned considering the possible risks. According to the literature, there are still no certainties regarding the superiority of an uncemented implant compared to a cemented one. The purpose of this work is to conduct an overview of the scientific literature that can clarify the advantages and disadvantages of cemented and non-cemented implants from a biological and biomechanical point of view.
