Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on sports/physical activity participation following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and patello-femoral arthroplasty (PFA) is variable and limited. The purpose of this study was to assess participations, outcomes, and limitations in sports following UKA and PFA. METHODS Patients who underwent UKA and PFA at a single institution from 2015 to 2020 were surveyed on sports participation before and after surgery. Data was correlated with perioperative patient characteristics and outcome scores. Among 776 patients surveyed, 356 (50%) patients responded. Of respondents, 296 (83.1%) underwent UKA, 44 (12.6%) underwent PFA, and 16 (4.5%) underwent both UKA/PFA. RESULTS Activity participation rates were 86.5, 77.3, and 87.5% five years prior, and 70.9, 61.4, and 75% at one year prior to UKA, PFA, and UKA/PFA, respectively. Return to sports rates were 81.6, 64.7, and 62.3% at mean 4.6 years postoperatively, respectively. The most common activities were recreational walking, swimming, cycling, and golf. Patients returned to a similar participation level for low-impact activities, whereas participation decreased for intermediate- and high-impact activities. Patients participating in activities had higher postoperative Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement (P < .001), 12-Item Short Form Physical Component Score (P = .045) and Mental Component Score (P = .012). Activity restrictions were reported among 25, 36.4, and 25% of UKA, PFA, and UKA/PFA patients, respectively, and were more commonly self-imposed than surgeon-directed. CONCLUSIONS Though UKA patients' postoperative sports participation may improve compared to one year preoperatively, participation for patients surgically treated for isolated osteoarthritis is decreased compared to 5 years preoperatively and varies among patient subsets.

Abstract
Reducing pain and opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an important perioperative consideration. Though commonly used, the combined influence of tourniquets and adductor canal blocks (ACBs) on pain and opioid consumption is unknown. This study evaluated inpatient opioid consumption and pain between patients with TKA based on tourniquet and/or ACB use. Pain and opioid consumption were highest when a tourniquet, but no ACB was used, and lowest when an ACB, but no tourniquet was used - though absolute differences in pain scores were not clinically significant. Tourniquet and ACB use should be considered as part of TKA opioid-sparing protocols.

Abstract
Robotic UKA is one of the recent advancement in surgical management for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Over the years, there have been many studies which have showed results of various conventional UKA, high tibial osteotomy and even robotic uka for medial OA of knee all over the world. But still there is very less work on long-term outcome-based analysis of functional outcomes of robotic assisted medial UKA using mid-vastus approach, which was the aim of the study. A total of 680 patients with medial OA knee that were undergone robotic assisted UKA. The study was done at tertiary teaching institute and hospital from November 2016 to October 2022. The assessment of pain, clinical-functional assessment, walking ability, range of motion were assessed by KSS, SF-12 at pre-operatively, mid-term follow-ups and at final follow-up -5.03(± 0.52) years after surgery. 680 patients suited for medial UKA in our study with mean age of 65 ± 10.6 years. Average operating time was 42 ± 4.7 min. The mean postoperative KSS was 93 ± 4.3, the mean SF-12 was 49 ± 9.1, 55 ± 8.7 for PS and MS, respectively. The patient had better KSS and SF-12 when compared pre-operatively and final follow-up (p -0.012 and -9.320, p -0.017 and -7.475, p -0.014 and -5.196, p -0.021 and -7.418, respectively). Complications were also very less. Robotic UKA using mid-vastus approach is effective treatment for medial compartmental OA knee. On short/long-term follow-up of patients, functional and radiological outcomes were good with few complications rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE Alignment errors in medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) predispose to premature implant loosening and polyethylene wear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a novel CT-free robotic surgical assistant improves the accuracy and reproducibility of bone resections in UKA compared to conventional manual instrumentation. METHODS Sixty matched cadaveric limbs received medial UKA with either the ROSA® Partial Knee System or conventional instrumentation. Fifteen board-certified orthopaedic surgeons with no prior experience with this robotic application performed the procedures with the same implant system. Bone resection angles in the coronal, sagittal and transverse planes were determined using optical navigation while resection depth was obtained using calliper measurements. Group comparison was performed using Student's t test (mean absolute error), F test (variance) and Fisher's exact test (% within a value), with significance at p < 0.05. RESULTS Compared to conventional instrumentation, the accuracy of bone resections with CT-free robotic assistance was significantly improved for all bone resection parameters (p < 0.05), other than distal femoral resection depth, which did not differ significantly. Moreover, the variance was significantly lower (i.e. fewer chances of outliers) for five of seven parameters in the robotic group (p < 0.05). All values in the robotic group had a higher percentage of cases within 2° and 3° of the intraoperative plan. No re-cuts of the proximal tibia were required in the robotic group compared with 40% of cases in the conventional group. CONCLUSION The ROSA® Partial Knee System was significantly more accurate, with fewer outliers, compared to conventional instrumentation. The data reported in our current study are comparable to other semiautonomous robotic devices and support the use of this robotic technology for medial UKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Cadaveric study, Level V.

Staged BiCompartmental Knee Arthroplasty has Greater Functional Improvement, but Equivalent Midterm Survivorship, as Revision TKA for Progressive Osteoarthritis After Partial Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:1260-1265. [PMID: 35227809 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.02.084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive arthritis in the unresurfaced compartments of the knee is one failure mode after partial knee arthroplasty (PKA). While progressive arthritis after PKA is typically treated with revision to TKA (rTKA), staged bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (sBiKA) -the addition of another PKA - is an alternative. This study compared outcomes of sBiKA and rTKA for progressive arthritis after PKA. METHODS A retrospective comparative study of non-consecutive cases at four institutions were performed in patients with an intact PKA, without loosening or wear, who underwent sBiKA (n = 27) or rTKA (n = 30), for progressive osteoarthritis. Outcomes studied were new Knee Society Function and Objective Scores (KSSF, KSSO), KOOS, Jr., ROM, operative times, length of stay, complication rates and the need for reoperations. RESULTS Mean time to conversion was 7.4 ± 6 years for sBiKA and 9.7 ± 8 for rTKA, P = .178. Patient demographics and pre-operative outcomes were similar among cohorts. At an average of 5.7 ± 3 (sBiKA) and 3.2 ± 2 years (rTKA), KOOS, Jr. significantly improved, P < .001, by an equivalent amount. Post-operative KSSO and KSSF were significantly higher in the sBiKA cohort, respectively, (90.4 ± 10 vs 72.1 ± 20, P < .001) and (80.3 ± 18 vs 67.1 ± 19, P = .011). sBiKA patients had significantly greater improvement in KSSO (30.7 ± 33 vs 5.2 ± 18, P = .003). One sBiKA patient underwent reoperation for continued pain. CONCLUSION SBiKA has equivalent survivorship, but greater improvement in functional outcomes as rTKA at short to midterm follow-up. Given the shorter operative times and length of stay, sBiKA is a safe and cost-effective alternative to rTKA for progressive osteoarthritis following PKA. Nevertheless, further follow-up is necessary to determine whether sBiKA is a durable option.

Prior Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Does Not Compromise the Functional Outcomes of Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Although Revision for Progressive Arthritis May Occur Earlier. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:238-242. [PMID: 34699914 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency is commonly considered a contraindication for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of UKA after prior ACL reconstruction (rACL cohort) to UKA with an intact native ACL (nACL cohort). METHODS Forty-five patients from 3 institutions who underwent medial UKA after prior rACL were matched by age, gender, preoperative function scores, and body mass index to 90 patients who underwent UKA with an intact nACL. Primary outcomes were Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement, Oxford Knee Scores, Knee Society Functional Scores, and Kellgren-Lawrence scores in the unresurfaced, lateral tibiofemoral compartment. Secondary outcomes were postoperative complications and the need for revision to TKA. RESULTS At a mean of 3.6 years, all PROMs improved significantly with no differences identified between groups. The incidence of revision TKA was similar between cohorts (P = 1.00); however, the mean time to revision for progressive osteoarthritis was 4.0 years in the nACL group and 2.2 years in the rACL group. Twenty percent of rACL patients had a postoperative complication compared to 8% in the nACL group. Despite presenting with a similar degree of lateral arthritis, a greater percentage of patients developed Kellgren-Lawrence scores of ≥3 in the rACL cohort (9%) than in the nACL cohort (0%). CONCLUSION A previously reconstructed ACL does not appear to compromise the short-term functional outcomes of UKA; however, there is a higher rate of minor complications and progression of lateral compartment arthritis, which should be considered with patients in the shared decision process.

Knee Scores of Patients with Non-Lateral Compartmental Knee Osteoarthritis Undergoing Mobile, Fixed-Bearing Unicompartmental Knee and Total Knee Arthroplasties: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Orthop Surg 2021; 14:73-87. [PMID: 34870364 PMCID: PMC8755879 DOI: 10.1111/os.13111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2020] [Revised: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate knee scores and clinical efficacies of patients with non‐lateral unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA) who randomly underwent mobile‐bearing (MB) unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), fixed‐bearing (FB) UKA, and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods From September 2015 to February 2017, a prospective, randomized, parallel, single‐center trial of 180 patients (78 males and 102 females; 63.3 ± 6.9 years) with non‐lateral compartmental knee OA was performed in the first author‐affiliated hospital. The patients were randomly divided into three groups (each group included 60 patients) and received medial cemented Oxford phase 3 MB UKA, medial cemented Link FB UKA, or cemented DePuy Sigma PFC TKA, respectively. A similar perioperative management and fast‐track surgery program was carried out for all patients. The knee scores at 3‐year follow‐up after operation and clinical efficacies of these three groups of patients were recorded, investigated, and compared. Results Primarily, compared to the TKA group, the UKA groups (MB UKA and FB UKA) had shorter operative time (median 63.2 < 67.1 min), less bleeding (8.6 < 30.0 mL), earlier resumption of walking without crutches (3.0 < 8.0 days) and walking up and down the stairs (5.0 < 10.0 days) (P < 0.001), higher FJS scores (78.0 > 74.5) (P = 0.007), better results in all knee scores (except VAS and KSS function scores) (P < 0.05), and a larger maximum flexion angle of the knee at the 3‐year follow‐up (123.0° > 96.0°) (P = 0.001). Secondarily, compared to the TKA group, the MB UKA group showed better results in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities index (WOMAC) stiffness (83.6 > 79.6), WOMAC total (86.3 > 83.2), Oxford knee score (OKS) (20.0 < 23.0), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) (78.5 > 74.5), and a larger maximum flexion angle of the knee (123.0 > 96.0) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the FB UKA group showed higher Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) (91.0 > 88.5), WOMAC stiffness (84.3 > 79.6), WOMAC function (85.2 > 81.7), WOMAC total scores (87.6 > 83.2), and a larger maximum flexion angle of the knee (119.0° > 96.0°) than the TKA group (P < 0.05). Overall, there was no significant difference in all knee scores and maximum flexion angles of the knee for the MB UKA and FB UKA groups (P > 0.05). There was one case with original bearing dislocation in MB UKA group. One patient with displacement of the femoral component caused by a fall injury, and another patient, who lost his life in a car accident, were involved in the FB UKA group. There was an infection case and an intermuscular vein thrombosis case in TKA group. Conclusion UKA showed more advantages than TKA; however, there was no significant difference between the MB UKA and FB UKA groups for treatment of non‐lateral compartmental knee OA.

Abstract
Introduction: This study compared the immediate and early postoperative outcomes of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis patients receiving unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) with a matched cohort of total knee replacement (TKR). Methods: 26 UKR patients were matched with 26 TKR patients based on age, body mass index, pre-operative radiographic severity, range of motion (ROM), Knee Society score (KSS) and Feller patella score. Immediate postoperative outcomes were reflected by postoperative pain, blood loss, length of stay and the number of physiotherapy sessions attended. Early postoperative outcomes (ROM and KSS) were measured at 3 months and 1 year post-operatively. Results: UKR patients had less hemoglobin drop (UKR: 1.2 g/dL, TKR: 1.6 g/dL, p = 0.04), shorter length of stay (UKR: 4.3 days, TKR: 6.0 days, p < 0.001) and required less physiotherapy sessions for recovery (UKR: 6.9 sessions, TKR: 9.3 sessions, p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in early post-operative pain score and postoperative analgesia use ( p > 0.05) between the two groups. Patients receiving UKR had significantly higher post-operative KSS (UKR: 155.9, TKR: 142.4, p = 0.005) and ROM (UKR: 115.8o, TKR: 98.8o, p < 0.001) at 3 months. The KSS and ROM of UKR group at 3 months was better than TKR group at 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: In patients with medial knee osteoarthritis, UKR showed less postoperative analgesic use and blood loss, shorter length of stay, shorter course of rehabilitation and faster recovery with better early KSS and ROM than TKR. Follow up is necessary for comparison in long term outcome and survivorship between the two groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a procedure with lower surgical morbidity, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) may present a practical solution for elderly patients with unicompartmental arthritis. However, few studies have analyzed the results of UKA in the extreme elderly. This study compared the functional and perioperative outcomes between octogenarians and age-appropriate controls undergoing UKA. METHODS Prospectively collected data of 44 patients aged ≥80 years who underwent unilateral UKA were analyzed. Each octogenarian was matched 1:3 with 132 patients aged 65-74 years using propensity scores adjusting for gender, body mass index, Charlson comorbidity index, and preoperative scores. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement and Short Form-12 were collected preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. Complications, reoperations, readmissions, and unplanned visits were recorded up to 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS The mean age was 70.0 ± 2.7 years in the control group and 83.0 ± 3.0 years in the octogenarian group (P < .001). The percentage of outpatient procedures was comparable (control 50.0%; octogenarian 45.5%; P = .601). With the exception of poorer Short Form-12 physical scores in octogenarians at 2 years (39.4 ± 14.1 vs 44.9 ± 9.2, P = .028), there was no difference in final postoperative scores or improvement in scores between the groups. The rate of complications, reoperations, readmissions, and emergency room visits was also similar. The five-year survivorship was 97% in the control group and 93% in the octogenarian group (P = .148). CONCLUSION Octogenarians undergoing UKA can experience clinical outcomes that are similar to those of their younger counterparts. The clinical trajectory outlined may help clinicians provide valuable prognostic information to elderly patients and guide preoperative counseling.

Abstract
Disclaimer In an effort to expedite the publication of articles related to the COVID-19 pandemic, AJHP is posting these manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted online before technical formatting and author proofing. These manuscripts are not the final version of record and will be replaced with the final article (formatted per AJHP style and proofed by the authors) at a later time. Purpose To identify the proportion of patients with continued opioid use after total hip or knee arthroplasty. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis searched Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts for articles published from January 1, 2009, to May 26, 2021. The search terms (opioid, postoperative, hospital discharge, total hip or knee arthroplasty, and treatment duration) were based on 5 key concepts. We included studies of adults who underwent total hip or knee arthroplasty, with at least 3 months postoperative follow-up. Results There were 30 studies included. Of these, 17 reported on outcomes of total hip arthroplasty and 19 reported on outcomes of total knee arthroplasty, with some reporting on outcomes of both procedures. In patients having total hip arthroplasty, rates of postoperative opioid use at various time points were as follows: at 3 months, 20% (95% CI, 13%-26%); at 6 months, 17% (95% CI, 12%-21%); at 9 months, 19% (95% CI, 13%-24%); and at 12 months, 16% (95% CI, 15%-16%). In patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty, rates of postoperative opioid use were as follows: at 3 months, 26% (95% CI, 19%-33%); at 6 months, 20% (95% CI, 17%-24%); at 9 months, 23% (95% CI, 17%-28%); and at 12 months, 21% (95% CI, 12%-29%). Opioid naïve patients were less likely to have continued postoperative opioid use than those who were opioid tolerant preoperatively. Conclusion Over 1 in 5 patients continued opioid use for longer than 3 months after total hip or knee arthroplasty. Clinicians should be aware of this trajectory of opioid consumption after surgery.

Robotic Assistance in Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Results in Superior Early Functional Recovery and Is More Likely to Meet Patient Expectations. Adv Orthop 2021; 2021:4770960. [PMID: 34336292 PMCID: PMC8298171 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4770960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Robotic technology has reduced the errors of implant alignment in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), but its impact on functional recovery after UKA is poorly defined. The purpose of this study was to compare early functional recovery, pain levels, and satisfaction in UKA performed with either robotic assistance or conventional methods. A retrospective analysis was performed on 89 matched consecutive patients who underwent outpatient UKA by a single physician using either conventional instruments (n = 39) or robotic methods (n = 50), with otherwise identical perioperative protocols. Outcomes studied included Lower Extremity Functional Score (LEFS), new Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS-JR.), VR/SF-12, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores, and perioperative opioid consumption. Patients in the robotic cohort had superior early functional outcomes, with greater LEFS (conventional = 23; robotic = 31) at 1 week post-op (p=0.015) and KOOS-JR (conventional = 74; robotic = 81) at up to 6 months post-op (p=0.037); these two values remained statistically significant after mixed-model regression analysis (p=0.010; p=0.023), respectively. At 1 year post-op, expectations were more likely to be met in those who received robotic assistance (p=0.06). No differences were reported with respect to postoperative opioid usage (p=0.320), reoperations (p=1.00), and complications (p=0.628). Robotic-assisted UKA resulted in more rapid recovery and less early postoperative pain and were more likely to meet expectations than conventional UKA, although functional differences equilibrated by 1 year postoperatively. Further follow-up is necessary to determine if implant durability is impacted by robotics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We have seen unparalleled changes in our healthcare systems globally as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we strive to regenerate our full capacity elective services in order to contest the increasing demand for lower limb arthroplasty, this pandemic has allowed us a rare opportunity to revise and develop novel elective arthroplasty pathways intended to improve patient care and advance healthcare efficiency. We present an extensive evidence-based review of the approaches used to achieve day-case unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA) as well as the development of a day-case UKA care pathway in a UK NHS institution based on the evidence provided in the literature. METHODS An extensive search of the literature was performed for articles that reported on readmission or complication rates ≥30 days postoperatively following day-case UKA. FINDINGS Fifteen manuscripts reporting the results of day-case UKA, defined as discharged on the same calendar day of surgery, were included in our review. Mean reported complication rates for day-case and inpatient UKA within the follow-up periods were 4.05% and 6.52%, respectively. Mean readmission rates were 2.71% and 4.36% for day-case and inpatient UKA, respectively. The mean rate of successful same-day discharge was 92.45%. CONCLUSION We introduce our institutional Elective Day Surgery Arthroplasty Pathway (EDSAP) founded upon the evidence presented in the literature. Stringent patient selection complimented by a well-defined day-case arthroplasty pathway is fundamental for successful commencement of day-case UKA in the NHS.

An opioid-sparing protocol with intravenous parecoxib can effectively reduce morphine consumption after simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty. Sci Rep 2021; 11:7362. [PMID: 33795787 PMCID: PMC8016913 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86826-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Multimodal pain management protocol effectively relieves pain following simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (SBTKA) but is associated with administration of large amounts of opioids in the perioperative period. In this prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded, single-surgeon clinical trial, the goal was to validate the efficacy of an opioid-sparing protocol for SBTKA with a reduced opioid dose, while achieving similar pain relief with few adverse events. Fifty-six patients who had undergone SBTKA were randomly allocated to receive either an opioid-sparing or opioid-based protocol. The primary outcome parameters were visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at rest, with movement, and cumulative morphine dose, through time. Secondary outcome parameters included drug-related adverse events and range of motion with continuous passive motion device, through time. In the opioid-sparing group, a lower VAS score with movement at postoperative 24 and 72 h was observed compared with the opioid-based group, but the difference did not reach the minimal clinically importance difference. A reduced cumulative morphine dose was noted in the opioid-sparing group at postoperative 24, 48 and 72 h. In conclusion, the opioid-sparing protocol may be used as an alternative modality for pain management following SBTKA. Similar pain relief effects may be achieved utilizing a reduced cumulative opioid dose, with few opioid related adverse events.

Pain management of unicompartmental (UKA) vs. total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on a matched pair analysis of 4144 cases. Sci Rep 2020; 10:17660. [PMID: 33077754 PMCID: PMC7572421 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-74986-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty are well established treatment options for end-stage osteoarthritis, UKA still remains infrequently used if you take all knee arthroplasties into account. An important factor following knee arthroplasty is pain control in the perioperative experience, as high postoperative pain level is associated with persistent postsurgical pain. There is little literature which describes pain values and the need for pain medication following UKA and/or TKA. So far, no significant difference in pain has been found between UKA and TKA. The aim of the study was to evaluate differences in the postoperative course in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty vs. total knee arthroplasty regarding the need for pain medication and patient-reported outcomes including pain scores and side effects. We hypothesized that unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is superior to total knee arthroplasty in terms of postoperative pain values and the need of pain medication. In this project, we evaluated 2117 patients who had unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and 3798 who had total knee arthroplasty performed, from 2015 to 2018. A total of 4144 patients could be compared after performing the matched pair analysis. A professional team was used for data collection and short patient interviews to achieve high data quality on the first postoperative day. Parameters were compared after performing a 1:1 matched pair analysis, multicenter-wide in 14 orthopedic departments. Pain scores were significantly lower for the UKA group than those of the TKA group (p < 0.001 respectively for activity pain, minimum and maximum pain). In the recovery unit, there was less need for pain medication in patients with UKA (p = 0.004 for non-opioids). The opiate consumption was similarly lower for the UKA group, but not statistically significant (p = 0.15). In the ward, the UKA group needed less opioids (p < 0.001). Patient subjective parameters were significantly better for UKA. After implantation of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, patients showed lower pain scores, a reduced need for pain medication and better patient subjective parameters in the early postoperative course in this study.
