Cement is commonly used to fix the tibial tray to the epiphyseal area. The objective of this study is to determine whether cement should be used to achieve fixation of the tibial tray with the hypothesis that metaphyseal sleeves would provide enough axial and rotational stability making cementation unnecessary. Prospective study of 60 patients undergoing knee replacement surgery with metaphyseal sleeves in type 2B defects in femur and tibia. Patients were divided into two groups according to the use of cement on the tibial component. Analysis included the American Knee Society Score (KSS) knee and functional scales, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) index, the Short Form 12 (SF-12) health survey, and radiographic assessment with a maximum follow-up of 5years. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in any of the parameters assessed. Metaphyseal sleeves showed a 100% survivorship at five years of followup. There were no differences in clinical and radiographic outcomes at five years of follow-up depending on whether or not cement was used for tibial platform fixation. Cementation of the tibial tray would therefore not be required to achieve satisfactory mid-term results. Level II prospective cohort study. Therapeutic. Level II prospective cohort study. Therapeutic.Mycorrhizal fungi are critical components of terrestrial habitats and agroecosystems. Recently, Mucoromycotina fine root endophyte fungi (MucFRE) were found to engage in nutritional mutualism with Lycopodiella inundata, which belongs to one of the earliest vascular plant lineages known to associate with MucFRE. The extent to which this mutualism plays a role in resilient plant populations can only be
