Metaphyseal cones with cemented stems can be successfully utilized in most revision total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). However, if the diaphysis has been previously violated, fixation of the cemented stem, which is important for cone ingrowth and construct survival, can be compromised. The initial results of our novel technique combining diaphyseal impaction bone-grafting with a metaphyseal cone were promising but required additional study. The purpose of the present study was to assess results of this technique in a larger cohort.
