Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
The unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is an interesting and potentially beneficial procedure that remains a controversial alternative to total knee arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy. A critical review of the literature reveals inconsistent results using this compartmental approach to joint resurfacing. Many of the inconsistencies, however, are attributable to improper patient selection, p...
متن کاملUnicompartmental Knee Osteoarthritis (UKOA): Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) or High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)?
Background: The aim of this review article is to analyze the results of high tibial osteotomy compared to unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in patients with unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. Methods: The search engine used was PubMed. The keywords were: "high tibial osteotomy versus unicompartmental knee arthroplasty". Twenty-one articles were found on 28 February 2015, but only eighte...
متن کاملEvaluation of implant position and knee alignment after patient-specific unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
Implant positioning and knee alignment are two primary goals of successful unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. This prospective study outlines the radiographic results following 32 patient-specific unicompartmental medial resurfacing knee arthroplasties. By means of standardized pre- and postoperative radiographs of the knee in strictly AP and lateral view, AP weight bearing long leg images as ...
متن کاملPatellar malalignment treatment in total knee arthroplasty.
The patella, with or without resurfacing, plays a fundamental role in the success of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patellofemoral joint complications are due to problems related to the patient, to the surgical technique, or to the design of the components. Patellar tracking is influenced by several factors: a severe preoperative valgus, the presence of pre-existing patellofemoral dysplasia, ...
