Purpose: To assess the prevalence of tibiofemoral (TF) osteoarthritis (OA) following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) with a minimum follow-up of 5 years, to explore the prevalence of symptomatic TF OA, and to identify potential risk factors for the development of TF OA following APM.
Methods: An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, Pedro, AMED, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov. Prospective/retrospective studies including participants with a mean age ≥18 years old, undergoing isolated APM, reported radiographic assessment of knee OA as an outcome, had at least 5-year follow-up, and were written in English were included. Two authors extracted relevant data. Four authors assessed methodologic quality using the Center of Reviews and Dissemination and the Downs and Black checklist. The prevalence of TF OA after APM was reported for each study, with the range provided across studies for each time period (5 years to <10 years, 10 years to <15 years, ≥15 years).
Results: Twenty-two studies were included. Radiologic TF OA prevalence following APM ranged from 35% to 90%, 23% to 100%, and 52% to 57.7% at an average follow-up of 5 years to <10 years, 10 years to <15 years, and ≥15 years, respectively. Prevalence of symptomatic TF OA ranged from 24.1% to 67% according to individual operational definitions, with 2 studies reporting correlations between function and radiological findings.
Conclusions: APM results in a prevalence of radiographic TF OA ranging from 23% to 100% across follow-up periods of 5 or more years with the lowest prevalence reported between 5 and <10 years and the highest prevalence reported between 10 and <15 years follow-up. Considerably less data was available to assess symptomatic TF OA or risk factors associated with TF OA.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, systematic review of Level II and III studies.

Varus alignment of the hip and knee 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament injury is associated with medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis 3 years later.
J Exp Orthop
January 2025
Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Orthopaedics, Clinical and Molecular Osteoporosis Research Unit Faculty of Medicine Lund University Lund Sweden.
Purpose: To investigate if hip and knee alignment assessed 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is associated with compartment-specific radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) 3 years later.
Methods: An exploratory analysis was conducted in the knee ACL, nonsurgical versus surgical treatment (KANON) trial (ISRCTN84752559); 115 subjects with acute ACL injury were assessed at the 2-year follow-up; full-limb images of the injured leg were acquired, and the neck-shaft angle (NSA) and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) were measured. At the 5-year follow-up, weight-bearing tibiofemoral and patellofemoral radiographs were obtained.
Cemented versus cementless unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
J ISAKOS
December 2024
Hospital San Martin de Quillota, Valparaiso, Chile. Electronic address:
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) offers a more conservative treatment than total knee arthroplasty when osteoarthritis affects only one tibiofemoral knee compartment. Cemented UKA has become the gold standard due to its good functional outcomes and low revision rates. The most common reasons for revision with cemented UKA include aseptic loss, unexplained pain, and radiolucent lines.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the increasing cases of Schenck knee dislocation type I injuries in the context of multiligament knee injuries, aiming to understand variations in classification within the existing literature.
- A systematic review included 50 studies with a total of 3460 reported KD I injuries, highlighting a low prevalence of tibiofemoral KD confirmation at just 0.3%.
- Findings suggest that unicruciate KD injuries have a significantly lower risk of associated vascular and neurologic injuries compared to bicruciate injuries, indicating important differences in injury management.

Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between subregional NaF-SUV values, T-T measurements, and vertical ground reaction forces in patients with isolated patellofemoral-joint-osteoarthritis (PFJ-OA).
- Thirty-five PFJ-OA patients underwent advanced imaging scans to assess their knee conditions and calculate loading rates during walking trials.
- Results revealed complex associations between bone and cartilage measurements, highlighting a notable link between increased bone uptake and gait characteristics, suggesting important clinical implications for PFJ-OA management.
The Viability and Success of Noncemented Kinematic Total Knee Arthroplasty.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
September 2024
From the Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, Maywood, IL (Ms. Flanagan and Mr. Stanila); Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Cener, Maywood, IL (Dr. Schmitt and Dr. Brown).
Background: The prevalence of noncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing as personalized knee alignment strategies deviate from implanting components on a strict mechanical axis. This retrospective study evaluated the outcomes of 74 consecutive noncemented unrestricted kinematic TKA procedures.
Methods: This study included 74 consecutive noncemented kinematic TKAs performed by one surgeon at a tertiary academic medical center from 2021 to 2023.
