Age and Body Mass Index Has No Adverse Effect on Clinical Outcome of Unicompartmental Knee Replacement - Midterm Followup Study.

Introduction: Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is well-established procedure for the anteromedial compartment of knee arthritis with intact anterior cruciate ligament. The significance of age and body mass index (BMI) is not clear in the outcomes of UKR. Our hypothesis was that age and BMI does not affect the clinical and functional outcome following fixed bearing UKR.

Mid-term results of Miller-Galante unicompartmental knee replacement for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyse and report the mid-term results of 175 unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) procedures performed for medial compartment knee arthritis from January 2001 to January 2010.

Materials And Methods: The cohort participants were selected after stringent inclusion criteria and the average follow-up was 5.6 years (range 2-10 years).
