Abstract
Purpose: We carried out a questionnaire survey amongst all the members of the British Association for surgery of the Knee (BASK) to provide us with a guide to the current practice and opinions on cementing techniques in Knee replacement.
Materials & Methods: Between January and February 2003, all the three hundred members of the BASk were mailed a thirteen-question survey regarding the current practice of TKR with specific emphasis on the cementing techniques.
Conclusion: Our study shows the wide variation in current practice and attitudes towards cementing in Total Knee replacement amongst the specialist Knee surgeons of Britain, but the practice of the majority is in accordance with the guidelines issued by the BOA & BASK.
