Abstract
Mid-Term Results of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty in Medial Compartment Osteoarthritis
Highlights
There is still controversy about the best treatment option for patients with medial compartment-involved knee osteoarthritis (OA)
The mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) were excellent in this study, and our results demonstrate that UKA in proper indication is effective with considerable success in the treatment of medial osteoarthritis
İn cases of symptomatic medial compartment knee OA when conservative treatment is insufficient, correcting osteotomies such as high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and distal femoral osteotomy, total knee arthroplasties (TKA) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKA) are both utilized for surgical treatment [1,2,3]
Summary
There is still controversy about the best treatment option for patients with medial compartment-involved knee osteoarthritis (OA). Preserving the healthy joint structures of the knee and replacing the degenerative compartment alone are the main reason for its rising popularity and led the technique to further increase of the applied frequency [3,4,5], Since the first design was introduced by McKeever in 1957 [6], UKA technique had been developed with more anatomical implants and minimal invasive approach over the years. The popularity of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for the treatment of isolated compartment osteoarthritis of the knee has risen over the past two decades. The objective of this study was to present the clinical and radiological outcomes of unicondylar knee arthroplasty in patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis
