Intramedullary suction cementing technique of the tibial component has the theoretical advantage to allow a deeper cement penetration trough the cancellous bone. The aim of this study is to compare the cement penetration under the tibial component between patients that underwent tibial component cementation with or without the use of intramedullary suction. Two-hundred-twenty-four patients underwent primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) during the study period, One-hundred-twenty-two TKAs using intramedullary suction with negative pressure (55.4%), while one-hundred-two TKAs without intramedullary suction (44.6%). We found that the intra-operative suction during cement application increase the depth of cement penetration better than pulsed lavage alone.
