Knee surgery showdown: power wash vs. hand rinse for better bone grip
NCT ID NCT06032507
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two different methods of cleaning the bone during knee replacement surgery: a high-pressure water spray versus manual rinsing. The goal was to see which method helps bone cement stick better to the bone, which can affect how long the new knee lasts. One hundred patients over 60 years old with knee arthritis took part, and the results were measured using X-rays.
