AI Article Synopsis
- Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) is a less invasive surgery for isolated osteoarthritis, leading to quicker recovery and less blood loss compared to total knee replacements.
- The incidence of isolated lateral osteoarthritis is quite rare, making up only 5-10% of all UKA procedures, while medial compartment issues are more common.
- This paper reviews recent literature to compare the indications, failures, survival rates, and clinical outcomes of medial versus lateral UKA.
Article Abstract
Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) is a common procedure for the management of isolated osteoarthritis. UKA is considered less invasive compared to total knee arthroplasty, associated with less operative time, blood loss and faster recovery. Isolated lateral osteoarthritis is a relatively uncommon clinical problem, with an incidence about ten times lower than the medial compartment. In fact, lateral UKA are about 5-10% of the total amount of the UKAs. In addition, it's historically considered more challenging and with poorer results. The aim of this paper was to compare current indications, modes of failure, survivorship and clinical results of medial and lateral UKA by a narrative review of the latest literature.

Case: We report a case of a 29-year-old woman who sustained a left lateral sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation. Imaging demonstrated a 30-mm gap between the sternum and medial clavicle. Given well-preserved shoulder range of motion and well-controlled pain, she was ultimately treated nonoperatively.

Background: Reduced complexity of resting-state fMRI has been associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's diseases (AD) in cross-sectional cohorts. However, the trajectory of complexity in AD progression remains unknown. We conducted complexity analyses in a longitudinal AD dataset.

Background And Purpose: In contemporary medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), non-lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is not considered a contraindication. However, we still lack knowledge on the association of PFOA severity on patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after mUKA. We aimed to examine the association between PFOA severity and PROM-score changes after mUKA.

However, the association of LATE-NC with brain morphometry has not been thoroughly investigated. In this work, we examined the association of LATE-NC with brain morphometric anomalies using deformation-based morphometry (DBM) in a large community cohort of older adults that came to autopsy (N=897).

Background: The brain undergoes structural changes during aging, such as gray matter loss, enlarged ventricles, and sulcal widening. However, previous studies have primarily investigated these changes in isolation, without describing the complex spatial relationships between overall brain shape and regions. Here, we tested how gradients of expansion and compression of the global shape of the brain as well as between homologous brain regions across hemispheres are affected by age, and whether these changes further contribute to clinical impairment and cognitive deficits in older adults.
