We aimed to determine whether not using a tourniquet in cemented TKA would affect migration of the tibial component measured by radiosterometric analysis (RSA). Seventy patients were randomized into a tourniquet group and a non-tourniquet group and using model-based RSA, the migration of the tibial component was analyzed. Primary and secondary outcome measures were maximum total point motion (MTPM) and translations and rotations. Follow-up period was 2Â years. The tibial component was well fixated in both groups and no significant difference in migration between the two groups was detected (PÂ =Â 0.632). Mean MTPM (SD) was 0.47Â mm (0.16) in the tourniquet group and 0.45Â mm (0.21) in the non-tourniquet group. Absence of tourniquet indicates that stable fixation of the tibial component can be achieved in cemented TKA.
