Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Patients with one- or double-sided primary knee arthrosis. Patients with a sufficient bone quality for implantation of knee prosthesis. Informed and written patient consent. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with neuromuscular or vascular diseases in the affected leg. Patients who peroperatively are estimated unsuitable for knee arthroplasty e.g. due to bone cysts or dilution of the bone mass. Patients who use non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and cannot refrain from taking them postoperatively (this includes COX-2-inhibitors). Patients with osteoporosis estimated from the preoperative x-ray or former diagnosis of osteoporo-sis. Patients with knee arthrosis following fracture sequelae. Women, who are pregnant or are at risk of getting pregnant throughout the 2 year follow-up.
