Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between severe lateral patella facet osteoarthritis (LFPOA) and the effectiveness of lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients.
- A total of 61 patients were analyzed, with severe LFPOA identified in 46% of them; however, there were no significant differences in functional outcomes or survival rates between those with and without severe LFPOA after an average follow-up of 10.9 years.
- The findings suggest that having severe LFPOA does not negatively affect the survival or functional performance of patients after a fixed-bearing lateral UKA procedure.
