In a prospective, randomized study of 40 patients, the quality of fixation of cemented metal-backed versus all-polyethylene tibial components of the unconstrained anatomic graduated component total knee arthroplasty design was studied during 2 years using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). The shape, as well as the articulating geometry, of the implants was identical, as was the operative technique and the postoperative regimen. In this study, no negative consequences regarding the quality of fixation using an all-polyethylene tibial component with unconstrained articulating surfaces could be identified. In all aspects, the all-polyethylene tibial components displayed migration on par with, or sometimes lower than, their metal-backed counterparts. The rotations of the all-polyethylene components were equally low as for the metal-backed components, and maximum lift-off was significantly lower than for the metal-backed implants. We could not identify any collapse of the bone at the medial condyle or increased subsidence at the medial part of the tibia or increased rates of radiolucent lines in the knees with all-polyethylene components. All all-polyethylene implants seemed to be stable within the resolution of RSA between 1 and 2 years, a finding known to be of positive prognostic significance regarding future aseptic loosening.
