Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty

Purpose. The use of uncemented unicompartmental knee prostheses has recently increased. However, few studies on the outcomes of uncemented unicompartmental knee prostheses have been performed. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of cemented and uncemented Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.Materials and Methods. This retrospective observational study evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of 263 medial Oxford unicompartmental prostheses (141 cemented, 122 uncemented) implanted in 235 patients. The mean follow-up was 42 months in the cemented group and 30 months in the uncemented group.Results. At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in the clinical results or survival rates between the two groups. However, the operation time in the uncemented unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group was shorter than that in the cemented unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group. In addition, the cost of uncemented arthroplasty was greater.Conclusion. Despite the successful midterm results in the uncemented unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group, a longer follow-up period is required to determine the best fixation mode.

Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty

AbstractThe present study's primary aim was to determine the survivorship of a large cohort of patients implanted with a single design all-polyethylene tibial component medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Its secondary purpose was to investigate the reasons underlying implant failure, with specific attention to component positioning and limb alignment. Between 2007 and 2013, 166 patients underwent medial UKA with a single design all-polyethylene tibial component at two centers. Preoperatively and postoperatively, patients were administered clinical outcome scores and radiographic information were collected. Postoperative complications and causes of revision were recorded. A total of 140 patients (80 in Center A and 60 in Center B) who underwent all-polyethylene tibial component medial UKA (82 cases in Center A and 60 in Center B) were taken into account. Kaplan–Meier cumulative survivorship of implants was 96.5% (confidence interval [CI]: 91.7–98.6%) at an average follow-up of 61.1 months. Tibial aseptic loosening was accounted for failure in one case, while no correlation was found between implant positioning and failure. Two revisions were performed in Center A and three in Center B. Slight correction of the preoperative varus deformity was performed at both centers. All-polyethylene tibial component UKA provided satisfactory clinical and functional outcome, with excellent survival rate in the early and mid-term follow-up. Continued patient follow-up is needed to determine long-term survivorship of the examined UKA model.
