Background: Influences on anterior knee pain, stair climbing limitations, and function such as rising from sitting are poorly understood in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Original indications for UKA excluded patients who had patello-femoral disease, while more recent studies have expanded the indications to include these patients. This study examined the influence of the patello-femoral joint degeneration on patient-reported outcome measures relating to anterior knee pain and function after UKA.

This study examined the influence of patellar resurfacing on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) relating to anterior knee pain and function.

Article Synopsis
- * A survey was conducted with 258 patients aged 40-80, assessing importance placed on factors like complications, functional ability, and revision rates; results showed that complications and revision rates were top priorities for both functional ability groups.
- * Overall, 42% of patients with good function preferred TKA while 58% favored UKA, and in the fair/poor-function group, 54% chose TKA and 46% chose
Background: Contemporary research has shown medial mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to be an effective treatment in patients younger than 60 years; however, only one other study has specifically investigated unicompartmental arthroplasty outcomes in patients 50 years or younger. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes and survivorship of medial mobile-bearing unicompartmental arthroplasty in this younger patient population.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty using the Oxford partial knee from 2003 to 2014 in a single practice database was performed.
Background: Perhaps, the most significant developments in joint arthroplasty in the past decade have been in the area of multimodal perioperative management reducing pain, nausea, and length of stay leading to outpatient arthroplasty.
Methods: Over a 2-year period, we performed 1230 arthroplasty cases including partial knee, total hip, total knee, and selected revision cases.
Results: Patient satisfaction ranged from 98% to 100% great/good.
