Article Synopsis
- Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) has become more accessible for end-stage anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) patients, with nearly 50% now eligible due to updated criteria.
- Recent studies indicate that mUKA offers advantages like shorter hospital stays, cost-effectiveness, and similar functional outcomes to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), along with lower revision rates when usage exceeds 20-30%.
- Denmark shows a significantly higher rate of mUKA procedures compared to other countries, likely due to their national alliances and improved surgical education, which can guide better practices in knee arthroplasty worldwide.
