“Systematic review and meta-analysis of ceramic coated implants in total knee arthroplasty. Comparable mid-term results to uncoated implants.”

ConclusionThe findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis support the statement that ceramic-coated TKAs are not inferior to uncoated TKAs, showing comparable survival rates, complication rates and clinical outcomes. There is strong evidence that ceramic-coated TKA does not improve the clinical results or survival rate in comparison with uncoated TKA.Level of evidenceII,   Therapeutic.
