Background: To investigate the post-operative outcomes of a revised UKA to a TKA compared to a primary TKA.
Methods: 33 revised UKA were matched to primary TKA and assessed using SF-36, Oxford Knee Scores (OKS) and Knee Society Scores (KSS).
Results: Both cohorts attained statistically similar SF-36 scores (p > 0.05). KSS improved by 51.12 in rev-UKA and 50.25 in primary TKA (p = 0.977) at 2 years. OKS scores were similar at 6 months (p = 0.094) and 2 years (p = 0.235)..
Interpretation: Revision of UKA does not require a longer period of rehabilitation to achieve satisfactory return to function.

Survivorship of Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Single Healthcare System's 23-Year Experience.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA (Lim, Prasad, Salimy, Melnic, and Bedair), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Newton, MA (Lim, Prasad, Salimy, Melnic, and Bedair).
Introduction: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is increasingly favored in clinical practice due to its favorable long-term survival rates, positive clinical outcomes, and expedited recovery. Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) remain a formidable complication in knee arthroplasty, and guidelines for the management are limited. This study aims to assess the failure rates of débridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) in UKAs, providing insights into optimal treatment management and infection-free survival for PJI in this context.

Institute for Locomotion, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to establish an international consensus statement on the indications for the addition of a patellofemoral joint arthroplasty (PFJA) in patients with a unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) and symptomatic progression of patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and the results used to inform the development of a statement by an expert working group. This was then evaluated and modified, using a Delphi process, by members of the European Knee Society (EKS).
Are Current Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Fit for Purpose to Evaluate Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty?
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Golden Jubilee University National Hospital, Glasgow G81 4DY, UK.
The optimal procedure for isolated end-stage medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) remains uncertain, with debate persisting between unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate current outcome measures in knee arthroplasty (KA) and explore how evolving patient populations and technological advancements may necessitate the use of different patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for evaluating UKA. While UKA offers potential advantages over TKA in early pain relief and functional outcomes, most randomised control trials using traditional PROMs have failed to show definitive superiority.

J Arthroplasty
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois.
Background: Revision of a unicompartmental to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is often compared to primary TKA with regard to its technical difficulty and complication rates. We sought to compare medical and surgical complications following revision unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to those following primary TKA and aseptic revision TKA.
Methods: A national administrative claims database was queried for patients undergoing revision UKA between 2010 and 2019.

Department of Orthopedics, School of Medicine, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 201112, China.
Background: Bicompartmental arthroplasty (BCA) serves as a less invasive alternative to total knee arthroplasty. This review aims to present the current status of BCA. BODY: Recent literature on BCA was reviewed and synthesized from the perspectives of function, radiological assessment, patient satisfaction, survival rate, patellar tracking, satisfaction survey, and revision rate.
