Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the effects of age on outcomes for patients undergoing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), revealing that contemporary practices no longer limit eligibility based on age.
- A total of 782 patients were evaluated, showing significant improvements in knee function across all age groups after surgery, with no notable differences in the overall outcomes based on age.
- However, patients aged 55 to < 65 years experienced less improvement in specific measures of joint awareness and participation, but overall satisfaction was high across all age categories, supporting the current approach of not using age as a restriction for mUKA.
Background: In this study, we examined the association between obesity and patient-reported outcome measures after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MUKA), assessed through score changes, Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), and minimal important change (MIC). Second, the association between obesity and early readmissions was examined.
Methods: A total of 450 MUKAs (mean body mass index [BMI] 30.
