Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how psychological factors, including pain catastrophizing (PC), anxiety and depression affect preoperative and postoperative subjective outcomes in patients undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).

Methods: A prospective comparative study was performed among 150 patients undergoing medial or lateral UKA for isolated unicompartmental osteoarthritis. Patients were categorized based on their preoperative PC and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, stratifying them into groups with PC, anxiety or depression, and those without these psychological factors.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare patient-reported outcomes and implant survival rates between cementless and cemented medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) during the first year after surgery.
  • Analyzing over 18,000 cases from the Dutch Arthroplasty Registry, the study found similar improvements in knee function and pain between both fixation techniques, with slight advantages for cementless UKA in achieving excellent outcomes.
  • While cemented implants showed better one-year survival rates, the cementless group had a non-significant advantage in long-term survival due to lower rates of specific complications.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on understanding different knee alignments in patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis before and after they underwent medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).
  • It included data from 1000 knees and used specific angles to classify and evaluate the alignment of these knees both pre and post-surgery.
  • Results showed a decrease in the variety of knee phenotypes after surgery and highlighted that complex deformities had a lower chance of achieving normal alignment compared to simpler cases.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare patellofemoral joint alignment of knees with restored pre-arthritic coronal alignment versus knees with under- or overcorrection from their pre-arthritic coronal alignment following medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and evaluate the effect of patellofemoral joint alignment on patient-reported outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 517 knees following robotic-arm assisted medial UKA was conducted. Postoperative mechanical hip-knee-ankle angle (mHKA) was compared to estimated pre-arthritic coronal alignment, using the arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle (aHKA).
