Cement Mantle Thickness
cement mantle thickness
Given the progression in mean MTPM for the cemented group beyond 2 years, we explored whether this could be explained by the immediate postoperative cement mantle thickness. The mean cement mantle thickness of the 4 continuously migrating implants (10.11 mm; SD, 4.1) and of the 30 non-migrating cemented implants (9.95 ± 3.5 mm) were comparable (p = 0.94). LMM analysis showed no association between cement mantle thickness and MTPM across the 5-year follow-up period (p = 0.86).
