Abstract
PURPOSE To compare clinical outcomes of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for anterior medial osteoarthritis (AMOA) as well as offer surgical recommendations through age stratification. METHODS Between May 2019 and May 2021, 68 cross-indicated AMOA patients were analyzed. The patients were divided into HTO and UKA groups and further into two age groups of 55-60 and 60-65 years. Additionally, general data, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS) were analyzed. RESULTS All the patients were followed up for 18 months. Knee joint HSS significantly improved, and VAS score decreased in both groups (P < 0.05). In the 55-60 age group, HTO showed superior knee HSS at 1 and 3 months (P < 0.05), with no significant difference at 6, 12, and 18 months. HTO had a significantly lower VAS score at one month, and the VAS scores of the two groups decreased gradually with no significant difference. In the 60-65 age group, the UKA group showed superior knee joint HSS at one month, with no significant difference at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. The UKA group had a significantly lower VAS score at one month, and both groups' VAS scores decreased gradually with no significant difference. CONCLUSION Both methods yield satisfactory results for AMOA cross-indications, improving knee joint function. The observed recovery trends have implications for personalized surgical recommendations, guiding interventions based on age-specific considerations for optimal outcomes in anterior medial osteoarthritis cases.

Comparison of joint awareness after total knee arthroplasty, medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and high tibial osteotomy: a retrospective study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:673. [PMID: 37620829 PMCID: PMC10463784 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06779-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the Forgotten Joint Score-12(FJS) outcomes and the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of the FJS after high tibial osteotomy (HTO), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with short-term follow-up (at least 2 years). Another objective of the study is to investigate the factors influencing FJS. It is hypothesized that there are differences in FJS outcomes among the three procedures. METHODS Patients who underwent HTO, UKA, and TKA from January 2016 to December 2020 and were followed up for a minimum of 2 years were included in the study. The FJS were analyses from a cohort of people who submitted data to two years. The preoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes were compared and evaluated the patient-related factor. The FJS scores were predicted using multiple linear regression analysis. Additionally, Patient's Joint Perception (PJP) questions were used as anchors to determine the achievement of the forgotten joint, and FJS MCID were calculated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). RESULTS Three hundred eighty-nine patients were included in the final study, and there were 111 patients in HTO groups,128patients in UKA groups, and 150 patients in TKA groups. The mean follow-up was 47.0 months. There was a significant difference in the total FJS, between the HTO, UKA, and TKA groups (FJS:59.38 ± 7.25, 66.69 ± 7.44 and 56.90 ± 6.85, p < 0.001. We found the MCID of the FJS of HTO, UKA, and TKA were 63.54, 69.79, and 61.45, respectively. In multiple linear regression, younger age, and higher FS were significant predictors of better FJS. CONCLUSION Medial UKA demonstrated lower patient awareness in comparison to HTO and TKA, as assessed by the FJS. Younger age and higher FS were identified as significant predictors of improved FJS, providing valuable guidance for surgical decision-making.

Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Provides Superior Clinical and Radiological Outcomes Compared to High Tibial Osteotomy at a Follow-Up of 5-8 Years. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5387. [PMID: 37629429 PMCID: PMC10455152 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12165387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease. Initially, the medial compartments are affected in most cases. For this pathology, joint preservation is preferable. Two surgical procedures aim to meet this goal: high-tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The aim was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of HTO versus UKA in patients with unicompartmental, medial OA. METHOD Retrospective case series. A total of 86 (61 UKA, 25 HTO) patients that received either treatment at a single, specialized center were assessed pre-operatively and at a single follow-up examination at 77.13 months (±8.170). The Knee Society Score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), SF36 questionnaire and the Tegner score were used. The Kellgren-Lawrence score was assessed pre- and post-surgically. Survivorship with the endpoint "revision" was assessed. RESULTS The UKA group showed significantly better improvements in KSS scores for pain (p < 0.006) and function (p < 0.001). OA progression (p < 0.02) and survivorship (p < 0.018) differed, significantly favoring UKA. ROM, SF36 and Tegner score did not differ significantly. CONCLUSIONS The presented mid-to long-term data suggest that UKA provides superior results in selected outcomes. Nevertheless, significant differences in the demographics of treatments indicate the challenge of comparing these two treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the efficacy and outcomes of different surgical procedures, namely unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO), for the treatment of bilateral medial compartment knee osteoarthritis in the same patient. The joint awareness and function of these two surgical methods were evaluated. METHODS A total of 15 patients with bilateral medial compartment knee osteoarthritis who underwent either UKA or HTO between 2012 and 2020 were included in the study. Patient data, including age, gender, body mass index and length of hospital stay, were collected. Pre- and post-operative measurements were conducted, including tibiofemoral angle, tibial plateau posterior inclination angle, proximal tibial medial angle, distance from mechanical axis to knee joint center, hip-knee-ankle angle, pre- and post-operative knee joint scores, knee joint range of motion, and FIS-12 scores at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The latest follow-up was used for evaluating the outcomes of osteoarthritis treatment. Normality of continuous variables was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Between-group comparisons were performed using the paired sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Repeated measures analysis of variance was utilized to analyze FJS-12 measurements at different time points, and the correlation between FJS-12 and postoperative clinical results was examined using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS Significant differences were observed in FJS between the UKA and HTO groups at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, but no significant difference was found at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. FJS in the UKA group demonstrated a significant increase from 3 to 6 months postoperatively, but no significant difference was observed from 6 to 24 months postoperatively. In contrast, FJS in the HTO group showed a significant increase from 3 to 24 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent UKA exhibited superior joint awareness compared to those who underwent HTO during the early postoperative period. Furthermore, the rate of joint awareness in UKA patients was faster than in HTO patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12)-a measure of patients' ability to forget their joints in daily life-in patients who underwent total ankle replacement (TAR) or ankle arthrodesis (AA). METHODS Patients who underwent TAR or AA were recruited from seven hospitals. The patients completed the Japanese version of FJS-12 twice, at an interval of two weeks, at a minimum of one year postoperatively. Additionally, they answered the Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire and EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level as comparators. The construct validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, measurement error, and floor and ceiling effects were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 115 patients (median age, 72 years), comprising 50 and 65 patients in the TAR and AA groups respectively, were evaluated. The mean FJS-12 scores were 65 and 58 for the TAR and AA groups, respectively, with no significant difference between groups (P = 0.20). Correlations between the FJS-12 and Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire subscale scores were good to moderate. The correlation coefficient ranged from 0.39 to 0.71 and 0.55 to 0.79 in the TAR and AA groups, respectively. The correlation between the FJS-12 and EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level scores was poor in both groups. The internal consistency was adequate, with Cronbach's α greater than 0.9 in both groups. The intraclass correlation coefficients of test-retest reliability was 0.77 and 0.98 in the TAR and AA groups, respectively. The 95% minimal detectable change values were 18.0 and 7.2 points in the TAR and AA groups, respectively. No floor or ceiling effect was observed in either group. CONCLUSIONS The Japanese version of FJS-12 is a valid and reliable questionnaire for measuring joint awareness in patients with TAR or AA. The FJS-12 can be a useful tool for the postoperative assessment of patients with end-stage ankle arthritis.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is superior to high tibial osteotomy for the treatment of medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e29576. [PMID: 35905249 PMCID: PMC9333480 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000029576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) are widely used for the treatment of medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the best approach remains controversial. This study aimed to present a systematic review and a meta-analysis to directly compare the clinical outcomes between HTO and UKA. We hypothesized that the clinical outcomes after UKA and HTO would be similar. METHODS Electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and Biosis Preview) were searched for related studies published before November 30, 2021. Retrospective and prospective studies that directly compared the postoperative outcomes between UKA and HTO were included. Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) for complications, revision to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and weighted mean difference (MD) and 95% CIs in range of motion (ROM), pain, walking speed and function score were evaluated. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of the studies. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore the heterogeneity. RESULTS Twenty-three retrospective and 6 prospective studies were included. A total of 3004 patients (3084 knees) were evaluated for comparison. Complications (OR, 4.88, 95% CI: 2.92-6.86) were significantly greater in the HTO group than in the UKA group. Postoperative function scores including Lysholm score (MD, -2.78, 95% CI: -5.37 to -0.18) and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score (MD, -2.80, 95% CI: -5.39 to -0.20) were significantly lower in the HTO group than the UKA group. The postoperative ROM was similar between HTO and mobile-bearing UKA (MD, -3.78, 95% CI: -15.78 to 8.22). However, no significant differences were observed between the HTO and UKA group in terms of postoperative pain, walking speed, and revision to TKA. CONCLUSIONS UKA is superior to HTO in minimizing complications and enhancing postoperative function scores. Mobile-bearing UKA has a similar ROM compared with HTO. Both HTO and UKA provide satisfactory clinical outcomes in terms of walking speed, relieving pain, and revision to TKA. UKA appears to be more suitable for the elderly, and both mobile-bearing UKA and HTO are viable surgical options for younger active individuals.
