Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the outcomes of mixed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for treating medial osteoarthritis in 156 patients aged between 50 to 75 years.
- Results showed that patients who underwent UKA experienced less intraoperative bleeding, shorter operative times, and fewer hospital days than those who had TKA, with no reported postoperative complications in either group.
- At follow-up, both groups showed significant improvement in clinical assessments, but UKA patients had better functional scores, while TKA patients had better hip-knee-ankle alignment.
