Should We Always Use a Metaphyseal Cone in Conjunction With Tibial Augments for Uncontained Defects? A Finite-element Biomechanical Analysis
Our finite-element results suggest that medial augments have little impact on the stability of revision TKA constructs, but clinicians may want to combine bicompartmental augments with cones for increased stability of revision TKA constructs.
