Unicompartmental Arthroplasty of the Knee


A follow-up of 3 to 9 years.
Inglis GS

 

Abstract — A retrospective review of medial compartment arthroplasty in 22 patients (22 knees) is reported. The operations were performed between 1973 and 1978. Eighty-six per cent were rated good or excellent using the knee rating system devised by the Hospital for Special Surgery, New York. Excellent or good results were achieved in six patients who had previously had a high tibial osteotomy. At the time of follow-up significant loosening had not occurred, although progression of patellofemoral disease was noted. This study supports the promising results reported for unicompartmental resurfacing arthroplasty in the elderly.
