Abstract
PURPOSE Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an accepted treatment option in cases of end-stage lateral osteoarthritis. While lateral UKA has many proposed advantages compared to total knee arthroplasty, its technical challenges and relatively small number of cases make this an uncommon procedure. The aim of this study was to report the survivorship and functional outcomes beyond 20 years of follow-up of isolated UKA. METHODS Between January 1988 and October 2003, 54 lateral UKAs were performed in a single center. The fitted prosthesis was a fixed plate and cemented polyethylene (PE). All patients had isolated lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis, including five open meniscectomies, three arthroscopies, and three open reductions of lateral tibial plateau fractures. Patients with a minimum of 20 years of follow-up were included in the final analysis. RESULTS Of the 54 UKA, 22 died before reaching the minimum follow-up period and four were lost to follow-up. Twenty-eight were included in the final analysis. Among them, 21 patients remained alive and an additional seven were deceased after 20 years. The mean age at the last follow-up was 84.8 ± 11.9 years with a mean follow-up duration of 22.5 ± 2.1 years. Of the 28 knees, eight underwent revision surgery (5 for the progression of osteoarthritis; 2 for aseptic loosening; 1 for PE wear). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a survival rate at 20 and 25 years of 72.3% (CI 59.1; 88.6). The average time to revision was 14.9 ± 4.9 years. At the last follow-up, the mean function Knee Society Score (KSS) was 41.5 ± 32.9 and the mean objective KSS score was 79.4 ± 9.7. In the unrevised population, 94.7% of patients (n = 18) reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the surgery. CONCLUSION Lateral UKA remains a viable treatment option for patients with isolated lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis, providing satisfactory 20-year implant survivorship and high patient satisfaction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The key outcome of joint registries is revision events, which inform clinical practice and identify poor-performing implants. Registries record revision events and reasons, but accuracy may be limited by a lack of standardized definitions of revision. Our study aims to assess the accuracy and completeness of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) revision and indications reported to the New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR) with independent clinical review. METHODS Case record review of 2272 patients undergoing primary UKA at four large tertiary hospitals between 2000 and 2017 was performed, identifying 158 patients who underwent revision. Detailed review of clinical findings, radiographs and operative data was performed to identify revision cases and the reasons for revision using a standardized protocol. These were compared to NZJR data using chi-squared and Fisher exact tests. RESULTS The NZJR recorded 150 (95%) of all UKA revisions. Osteoarthritis progression was the most common reason on the systematic clinical review (35%), however, this was underreported to the registry (8%, P < 0.001). A larger proportion of revisions reported to the registry were for 'pain' (30% of cases vs. 5% on clinical review, P < 0.001). A reason for revision was not reported to the registry for 10% of cases. CONCLUSION The NZJR had good capture of UKA revisions, but had significant differences in registry-reported revision reasons compared to our independent systematic clinical review. These included over-reporting of 'pain', under-reporting of osteoarthritis progression, and failing to identify a revision reason. Efforts to improve registry capture of revision reasons for UKA could be addressed through more standardized definitions of revision and tailored revision options for UKA on registry forms.

[PMID: 38214327 PMCID: PMC10823336 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Peri‑prosthetic osteolysis (PPO) induced by wear particles is considered the primary cause of titanium prosthesis failure and revision surgery. The specific molecular mechanisms involve titanium particles inducing multiple intracellular pathways, which impact disease prevention and the targeted therapy of PPO. Notably, N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) serves critical roles in epigenetic regulation, particularly in bone metabolism and inflammatory responses. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the role of RNA methylation in titanium particle‑induced osteolysis. Results of reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR), western blotting, ELISA and RNA dot blot assays revealed that titanium particles induced osteogenic inhibition and proinflammatory responses, accompanied by the reduced expression of methyltransferase‑like (Mettl) 3, a key component of m6A methyltransferase. Specific lentiviruses vectors were employed for Mettl3 knockdown and overexpression experiments. RT‑qPCR, western blotting and ELISA revealed that the knockdown of Mettl3 induced osteogenic inhibition and proinflammatory responses comparable with that induced by titanium particle, while Mettl3 overexpression attenuated titanium particle‑induced cellular reactions. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation‑qPCR results revealed that titanium particles mediated the methylation of two inhibitory molecules, namely Smad7 and SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1, via Mettl3 in bone morphogenetic protein signaling, leading to osteogenic inhibition. Furthermore, titanium particles induced activation of the nucleotide binding oligomerization domain 1 signaling pathway through methylation regulation, and the subsequent activation of the MAPK and NF‑κB pathways. Collectively, the results of the present study indicated that titanium particles utilized Mettl3 as an upstream regulatory molecule to induce osteogenic inhibition and inflammatory responses. Thus, the present study may provide novel insights into potential therapeutic targets for aseptic loosening in titanium prostheses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two related recent reports described high error rates for implant positioning and reduced implant survivorship in manual unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MUKA) compared to robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (RUKA). The present study scientifically replicated these reports by comparing MUKAs similarly performed by an experienced high-volume surgeon in similar patients using the same study methods as these reports. METHODS A total of 216 consecutive MUKAs were retrospectively evaluated radiographically for achievement of implant positioning targets. Achievement of targets was compared to the published MUKA and RUKA outcomes and correlated with revision rates and patient-reported outcome measures. RESULTS There were 20% of study MUKAs compared to 88.1% of comparison MUKAs (P < .001) and 31.4% of comparison RUKAs (P < .048) that failed to meet all 7 implant positioning targets. The MUKA revision rates were significantly lower in the study sample than for comparison MUKAs (3.2% versus 14.2%, P < .001). Implant survivorship was 91.7% (95% confidence interval 84.9, 98.5%) at 8.9 years compared to 70.0% (95% confidence interval 56.0, 80.0%) at 10.2 years, respectively. Most patient-reported outcome measures did not differ based on achievement of implant positioning targets (P ≥ .072). CONCLUSIONS Present study findings indicate that observations in the 2 recent reports may not be generalizable to all UKA surgeons. Additional data on the relationship between implant positioning and revision as well as functional outcomes are needed to identify appropriate robotic arthroplasty applications.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:909.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different posterior inclinations of tibial component after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) may lead to different biomechanical characteristics of the knee joint. This finite element study was designed to investigate the tibiofemoral contact pressures after UKA with different posterior inclinations of tibial component. METHODS Finite element model of a healthy knee joint was constructed, and mobile-bearing (MB) UKA models with 5 different posterior inclinations (3°, 5°, 7°, 9° and 11°) of tibial components were simulated. The maximum contact pressures of tibial plateau cartilage in the lateral compartment and polyethylene insert in the medial compartment were calculated based on the ground reaction force and the angle of the knee flexion obtained by 3D motion capture system. RESULTS The loading ratio of medial and lateral compartments during standing stance (medial 54.49%, lateral 45.51%) and tibial anterior displacement (134 N, 3.89 mm) of healthy knee was basically consistent with previous experimental data. The maximum contact pressures of the medial meniscus and lateral tibial plateau cartilage of the healthy knee during standing stance were 2.14 MPa and 1.57 MPa, respectively. At the static standing phase, the maximum contact pressures of the polyethylene insert decreased from 17.90 to 17.29 Mpa, and the maximum contact pressures of the tibial plateau cartilage in the lateral compartment increased from 0.81 to 0.92 Mpa following an increase in the posterior inclination of the tibial component. At the first peak of ground reaction force, the maximum contact pressures of polyethylene insert increased from 22.37 to 25.16 MPa, and the maximum contact pressures of tibial plateau cartilage in the lateral compartment increased from 3.03 to 3.33 MPa, with the increase in the posterior inclination of the tibial component. At the second peak of ground reaction force, the maximum contact pressures of polyethylene insert decreased from 2.34 to 2.22 MPa with the increase in posterior inclination of tibial component. CONCLUSION The preoperative and postoperative finite element models of MB UKA were well established. The results showed that the maximum contact pressures of the polyethylene insert did not change significantly with the increase in the posterior inclination of the tibial prosthesis, while the maximum contact pressures of the tibial plateau cartilage of the lateral compartment increased when the posterior inclination of the tibial prosthesis was > 7°. Our results also show that the maximum contact pressures were greater with an excessive inclination angle (11°) of the tibial component, and the pressures of the tibial plateau cartilage in the lateral compartment were more concentrated on the posterior area. This study, therefore, proposes that excessive osteotomy should be avoided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the current study was to demonstrate short- to mid-term survivorship as well as clinical outcome of lateral unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) with a fixed-bearing (FB) design from a non-designer center using the Oxford Fixed Lateral prosthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This single-center retrospective cohort study reports the results of 133 consecutive lateral FB-UKR. Survivorship analysis was performed with different endpoints and clinical outcome was measured using the Oxford-Knee-Score (OKS), American-Knee-Society-Score (AKSS-O), range-of-motion (ROM) and visual-analog-scale for pain (VAS). RESULTS There were two revision surgeries with conversion to total knee replacements (TKR) due to persistent pain resulting in a survival rate of 98.5% (95% CI 93.5-99.6) with a mean follow-up (FU) of 3.3 ± 1.8 years (range 1-8.5). All outcome scores, VAS and ROM showed a significant improvement at final FU (p < 0.001). The OKS improved from 26 ± 7.8 (range 11-45) preoperatively to 39 ± 8.3 (range 13-48), the AKSS-O from 49.2 ± 14.6 (range 18-90) to 81.8 ± 15.1 (range 40-100), the AKSS-F from 53 ± 23.7 (range 0-100) to 80.4 ± 21.4 (range 5-100) and the ROM from 118 ± 17 (range 90-160) to 134 ± 9.5 (range 100-155). CONCLUSIONS The short- to mid-term results following lateral FB-UKR demonstrate a high survivorship and good clinical outcome from an independent series. We, therefore, suggest that FB-UKR is a safe treatment option for isolated lateral OA if sufficient surgical experience is provided. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective cohort study, level IV.

Fixed-bearing is superior to mobile-bearing in lateral unicompartmental knee replacement: a retrospective matched-pairs analysis. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2023; 31:3947-3955. [PMID: 37093235 PMCID: PMC10435651 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-023-07417-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Due to low incidence of isolated lateral osteoarthritis (OA), there are limited data on whether a fixed-bearing (FB) or a mobile-bearing (MB) design is superior for lateral unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR). The aim of this matched-pairs analysis was to compare both designs in terms of implant survival and clinical outcome. METHODS Patients who received MB-UKR (Group A) and FB-UKR (Group B) at a single centre were matched according to gender, age at time of surgery and body mass index (BMI). Survivorship analysis was performed with the endpoint set as "revision for any reason". Clinical outcome was assessed using the Oxford knee score (OKS), visual analogue scale for pain (VAS), patients' satisfaction, University of California Los Angeles activity scale (UCLA) and the Tegner activity score (TAS). RESULTS A total of 60 matched pairs were included with a mean follow-up (FU) of 3.4 ± 1.3 (range 1.2-5.0) years in Group A and 2.7 ± 1.2 (range 1.0-5.0) years in Group B. Survivorship between both groups differed significantly (Group A: 78.7%; Group B: 98.3%, p = 0.003) with bearing dislocation being the most common reason for revision in Group A (46.2%). The relative and absolute risk reduction were 92.2% and 20%, respectively, with 5 being the number needed to treat. There were no differences in OKS (Group A: 41.6 ± 6.5; Group B: 40.4 ± 7.7), VAS (Group A: 2.9 ± 3.2; Group B: 1.6 ± 2.2), UCLA (Group A: 5.7 ± 1.3; Group B: 5.9 ± 1.8) and TAS (Group A: 3.0 ± 1.0; Group B: 3.1 ± 1.2) between both groups on follow-up. CONCLUSION Despite modern prosthesis design and surgical technique, implant survival of lateral MB-UKR is lower than that of FB-UKR on the short- to mid-term due to bearing dislocation as the most common cause of failure. Since clinical results are equivalent in both groups, FB-UKR should be preferred in treatment of isolated lateral OA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective case-control study, Level III.

ANZ J Surg 2023; 93:980-988. [PMID: 36757833 DOI: 10.1111/ans.18244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The infrequency of lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has led to a lack of understanding of its survival. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the survivorship results of lateral UKA at different follow-ups based on available literature. METHODS Five databases were searched for eligible studies. Pooled survivorships with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) at 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years after lateral UKA were estimated using a random-effect model. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 26 studies involving 5470 lateral UKAs were included. Survivorships of lateral UKA at 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-year follow-ups were 96% (95% CI: 95-98%, I2 : 77.5%), 94% (95% CI: 93-96%, I2 : 70.8%), 88% (95% CI: 84-91%, I2 : 70.8%), 85% (95% CI: 79-91%, I2 : 70.8%), and 78% (95% CI: 71-85%, I2 : 54.2%), respectively. Subgroup analyses found that bearing type, the number of surgeons, and year of publication might be associated with implant survival outcomes. CONCLUSION Lateral UKA is an effective procedure with excellent survivorships at short-, mid-, and long-term follow-ups. Results suggest a single-surgeon lateral UKA using fixed-bearing. Additional well-designed studies are needed to elucidate the current findings.
