All-polyethylene tibia components have the same functional outcomes and survival, and are more cost-effective than metal-backed components in patients 70 years and older undergoing total knee arthroplasty: propensity match study with a minimum five-year follow-up

AIMS: The tibial component of total knee arthroplasty can either be an all-polyethylene (AP) implant or a metal-backed (MB) implant.
