Abstract
The causes of mechanical loosening of the cement-bone interface can be divided into two major groups:those related to patient selection (patient factors), and those related to the technique of the arthroplasty (technical factors). Patient factors include age, weight, sex, activity level, and disease. Technical factors are leg and component alignment, instability of the knee, level of tibial bone resection, and quality of fixation of the components to bone.
