Feeling frustrated with femoral cones? You’re definitely not alone. The hassle of broaching, burring, grinding, and adjusting cones just to get them to fit the femoral anatomy is over. Introducing TJO’s Universal® Cone System. Register here: https://t.co/tZC0FO7Nvn Join us on

Let’s go Utah. An elite group of partners in at the premiere Closed meeting of the Hip Society. @HipSocKneeSoc Proud to be a part of this strong @UofUHealth @UofUOrtho Adult Recon Team . Tonight we enjoyed a great time at the @HockeyHallFame

Join us for PCHK 2026 in beautiful Park City, UT at the brand new venue. Its a meeting you should not miss! @pchkfoundation

Amazing venue @CityWineryNYC and amazing meeting here in NYC for the Closed Meeting of the Knee society! @HipSocKneeSoc and thank you @Yankees great @bw51official for the great conversation and tunes!

Thanks for attending PCHK! Your presence, insights, and energy made it a truly memorable event. From thought-provoking panels to meaningful connections, we’re grateful for the community that came together to exchange ideas and help shape the future of hip & knee arthroplasty.

Curious to hear - have you seen cementless TKA with femoral sided failures? Do you look at that side routinely?

Could alignment strategies, or bearing designs have an influence? Is there a difference with more congruent bearings vs flat bearings or PS? A lot is left to learn. But perhaps just having the awareness that we may need to look at the femur will help us look at this further.

Maybe bone doesn't have the same affinity for ingrowth into CoCr as it does Ti?

We don't know all the reasons. But have a few thoughts. Some implants use HA or PA, and some do not. And the femurs are usually CoCr. CoCr is a little stiffer - stress shielding or stress relaxation of bone under the implant?

In this study, the team adds to paucity of existing literature on the femoral side in cementless TKA. 66% of RLL were seen on the femoral side. 83% of the revisions for aseptic loosening were for the femur. @ArthroToday

We've been trying to look at the potential reasons that the femur, the side that most of us haven't really paid attention to, as we focused on the tibia for the last few decades, might be a concern.

And... almost all implant manufacturers have changed to these newer tibia designs. So, while historically tibial loosening was a concern, we may now know enough, and have the right designs to have address the tibia.(?)

Tibial design matters...

Cementless TKA is solved? Shorter OR time, potential longer term fixation (?), use of robotics, and promising outcomes w/ some newer f designs. But... We saw a trend that the while the tibia has largely improved, the femur may be the implant of concern.

Had the pleasure to visit the team at Ortho Solutions, our local implant distributor in Salt Lake. These are the people that help ensure all the implants and instruments we use in the OR are there and ready for us every day. Grateful for all their work! @tjoinc @smithnephew

Cefazolin administration did not increase the risk of anaphylaxis in patients with documented PCN anaphylaxis. This finding could potentially reduce the reliance on less effective second-line antibiotics. https://t.co/asCxm9tIBQ

Modular CoCr-Ti junctions -oh my!Sleeve corrosion is likely more common that we know. Femur is more common than tibia. Stems on the tibia likely help. Check Co and Cr levels in revision knees if pain, swelling or X-ray changes. https://t.co/Lz7lyssKN4
