[PMID: 39260092 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2024.08.016] [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: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 08/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been shown to improve pain and function in appropriately selected patients. Limited data exists regarding outcomes and complication rates following UKA among octogenarians. METHODS The PearlDiver Mariner database was queried for patients undergoing primary UKA between 2010-2022. Patients < 80 years old were matched 4:1 to the octogenarian cohort (≥80 years old) by sex, year, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI), tobacco use, obesity, and diabetes. A total of 1,334 octogenarians and 5,313 controls were included in our analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to compare medical complications at 90-days post-operatively and surgical complications at 1- and 2-years post-operatively. Our regression analysis controlled for sex, ECI, tobacco use, obesity, and diabetes. RESULTS Octogenarians had an increased risk of acute kidney injury (OR: 2.306, 95% CI: 1.393-3.749; p < 0.001), pneumonia (OR: 2.367, 95% CI: 1.301-4.189; p = 0.003), UTI (OR: 1.846, 95% CI: 1.304-2.583; p < 0.001), ED visits (OR: 2.229, 95% CI: 1.586-3.105; p < 0.001), and any complication (OR: 1.575, 95% CI: 1.304-1.895; p < 0.001) at 90-days post-operatively. Octogenarians had lower odds of all-cause revision at 2-years (OR: 0.607, 95% CI: 0.382-0.923; p = 0.026). No differences were demonstrated between cohorts in rates of PJI (OR: 0.832, 95% CI: 0.334-1.796; p = 0.664), periprosthetic fracture (OR: 0.516, 95% CI: 0.120-1.520; p = 0.289), or aseptic loosening (OR: 0.285, 95% CI: 0.045-1.203; p = 0.088) at 2-years. DISCUSSION These findings suggest that despite an increased risk of certain medical complications within the acute post-operative period, octogenarians undergoing UKA experienced similar rates of surgical complications to younger matched controls at 2-year follow-up.

Abstract
Background Long-term outcomes for knee osteoarthritis patients undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain inconclusive. Objectives This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes over five years, including Knee Society Pain Scores (KSPS), Knee Society Scores (KSS), Knee Society Function Scores (KSFS), range of motion (ROM), and survival rates-of UKA vs. TKA in knee osteoarthritis patients. Design Systematic review using data from randomized controlled and cohort trials, and world databases. Data sources Researchers searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov from January 1990 to March 2024. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies The researchers selected studies based on adult participants with knee osteoarthritis. Eligible studies compare UKA and TKA reports on clinical or surgical outcomes, including KSPS, KSS, KSFS, ROM and survival rates, over 5 years. The researchers excluded the studies fewer than five years, or if English text was unavailable. Results Researchers categorized twenty-nine eligible studies into three groups: five randomized controlled trials, 11 registries and database studies, and 13 cohort studies. The analysis revealed that neither TKA nor UKA definitively outperformed the other in terms of pain (SMD (95% CI): -0.06 [-0.41, 0.28], I 2 = 90%) and KSS scores (SMD (95% CI): -0.07 [-0.23, 0.008], I 2 = 81%) over a period of five years. However, KSFS (SMD (95% CI): -0.30 [-0.43, -0.17], I 2 = 74%) and ROM (SMD (95% CI): -0.78 [-1.11, -0.46], I 2 = 92%) tended to favor UKA, and survival rate favor TKA at 5 or over 5-year follow-up periods. Conclusions UKA shows a trend towards better outcomes in KSFS and ROM, alongside a more favorable survival rate in TKA at the five-year and beyond follow-up periods.

Is unicompartmental knee arthroplasty a better choice than total knee arthroplasty for unicompartmental osteoarthritis? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Chin Med J (Engl) 2024:00029330-990000000-01143.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The choice of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) vs. total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) remains controversial. This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the clinical results of UKA and TKA for treating unicompartmental KOA. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for articles published up to January 2, 2023. The literature was rigorously screened to include only RCTs comparing UKA and TKA for unicompartmental KOA. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to calculate the mean difference (MD), relative risk (RR), and 95% confidence interval (CI) according to the Cochrane standards. RESULTS Thirteen publications involving 683 UKAs and 683 TKAs were analyzed. Except for one study with a follow-up period of 15 years, all outcome measures reported were within 5 years of follow-up. Meta-analysis showed better knee recovery (MD: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.01-1.45; P <0.00001), greater knee function (MD: 1.78; 95% CI: 0.34-3.22; P = 0.02), less pain (MD: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.43-1.06; P <0.00001), and better health status (MD: 3.75; 95% CI: 0.81-6.69; P = 0.01) after UKA than TKA. However, considering the minimal clinically important difference values for these variables, the findings were not clinically relevant. Moreover, UKA patients had fewer complications (RR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.45-0.78; P = 0.0002) and shorter hospital stays (MD: -0.89; 95% CI: -1.57 to -0.22; P = 0.009) than did TKA patients. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of postoperative range of movement, revision, failure, operation time, and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS In terms of clinical efficacy, there was no obvious advantage of UKA over TKA in the surgical treatment of knee OA when considering the minimal clinically important difference. The main advantage of UKA over TKA is that it leads to fewer complications and a shorter length of hospital stay. It is ideal to perform prospective studies with longer follow-up periods to fully evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the two procedures in the future.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the joint line convergence angle (JLCA) and the severity of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesise that JLCA is the most associated factor with the severity of medial knee OA. Methods This retrospective study included a total of 202 knees that underwent either high tibial osteotomy or medial meniscus repair/partial resection. Kellgren-Lawrence grade and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) and JLCA were assessed from preoperative radiographs. Medial meniscus extrusion (MME) was measured using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. The International Cartilage Research Society (ICRS) grade on the medial femoral condyle and medial tibial plateau were also assessed. The relationships between JLCA and Kellgren-Lawrence grades and MME and ICRS grades were analysed using Spearman's correlation test and regression analysis. Results The JLCA was correlated with the Kellgren-Lawrence grade (R = 0.765, p < 0.001), MME (R = 0.638, p < 0.001), ICRS grade on the MFC (R = 0.586, p < 0.001) and the MTP (R = 0.586, p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that age (p = 0.002) and JLCA (p < 0.001) were associated with Kellgren-Lawrence grade. Furthermore, JLCA was related to ICRS grade on the MFC (p < 0.001) and MTP (p < 0.001). Conclusion The JLCA, reflecting radiological severity, meniscus status, and cartilage lesion, was the most associated alignment parameter in the severity of medial knee OA. The JLCA may be beneficial for quantitative assessment of medial knee OA. Level of Evidence Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe a novel robotic-arm-assisted UKA to TKA conversion technique and evaluate the patient reported and clinical outcomes in these patients. Methods A retrospective review between 2017 and 2022 was conducted of patients that underwent robotic-arm-assisted UKA to TKA conversion. Charts were reviewed for patient demographics, indications for conversion from UKA to TKA, operative technique, implants used, postoperative complications, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). The surgical technique resembles that of primary TKA, with the major exception of registering the robotic arm with retained UKA implants and removing the implants only when verification is complete. There were 44 robotic-arm-assisted UKAs in 41 patients were included in the study. Indications for UKA conversion to TKA included: 33 patients who had osteoarthritis progression (75%), 7 aseptic loosening (16%), 2 unspecified pain (4.5%), 1 polyethylene wear (2.3%), and 1 prosthetic joint infection (2.3%). Uncemented cruciate-retaining (CR) implants were used in 38 of the 44 robotic-arm-assisted TKAs (86.5%). The other six utilized cemented implants: four CR femurs (9.1%), six tibial baseplates (13.6%), four tibial stems (9.1%), and four medial tibial augments (9.1%). Results The PROMs significantly improved at 1-year follow-up, with the average KOOS JR score increasing from 48.1 to 68.7 (P < 0.001), and the r-WOMAC score decreasing from 25.7 to 10.6 (P = 0.003). Two patients developed prosthetic joint infections (4.5%), one developed aseptic loosening of the femoral component (2.3%), and one developed a superficial surgical site infection requiring superficial irrigation and debridement (2.3%). Overall survivorship was 93.18% at 1.8 years, and aseptic survivorship was 97.73%. Conclusion Robotic-arm-assisted UKA to TKA conversion exhibited improved patient-reported outcomes and low revision and complication rates. Improved implant placement achieved with robotic-arm-assistance may improve the functional and clinical outcomes following these surgeries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal lower-limb alignment after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the optimal lower-limb alignment for functional improvement in the early post-UKA period. We hypothesized that a small change (Δ) in the arithmetic hip-knee-ankle (aHKA) angle during surgery would result in better postoperative knee function. MATERIALS AND METHODS This single-centered, retrospective study analyzed 91 patients (91 knees) who underwent UKA from April 2021 and December 2022. Preoperative and postoperative standing whole-leg radiographs were used to evaluate the mechanical HKA angle and aHKA angle. The aHKA angle was calculated from the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) and lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA). We defined restored aHKA angle as a postoperative aHKA angle within ± 3° of the preoperative aHKA angle. Functional improvement was evaluated using the preoperative and one-year postoperative Knee Society Scoring 2011 (KSS 2011). A multivariate regression analysis was performed to investigate the optimal lower-limb alignment for functional improvement. RESULT Postoperative restored aHKA angle (p = 0.020) was the only significant factor for improved KSS 2011 scores. Postoperative restored aHKA angle was obtained in 64 patients (70%). ΔMPTA (p < 0.001) and ΔLDFA (p = 0.037) were significant factors associated with a postoperative restored aHKA angle. CONCLUSIONS UKA restores the native knee, including resurfacing constitutional alignment and medial collateral ligament tension. Minimal change in the aHKA angle during UKA improves the functional outcomes of the knee during the early postoperative period, consistent with the minimally invasive surgical concept of UKA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of gender on the outcomes of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) remains a topic of active discussion with limited exploration thus far. The study aims to elucidate the gender effect on clinical outcomes, complications, pre- and postoperative radiological outcomes following the implantation of a medial UKA at mid-term follow-up in a large section of patients. METHODS This was a single-centre, retrospective cohort study encompassing patients undergoing medial UKA between 2011 and 2019. The International Knee Society (IKS) Knee and Function score, patient satisfaction, complications, revisions, pre- and postoperative radiological outcomes (coronal plane alignment, femoral and tibial component positioning, posterior tibial slope) were evaluated. Survival rate at the time of the last follow-up was also recorded. RESULTS Of the 366 knees that met the inclusion criteria, 10 were lost to follow-up, accounting for a 2.7% loss. Mean follow-up was 5.2 ± 2 years [2.1-11.3]. Out of the total population, 205 patients were females (57.6%, 205/356) and 151 were males (42.4%, 151/356). Men exhibited superior pre- and postoperative IKS function scores (p = 0.017). However, no significant differences were observed between women and men regarding improvements of IKS Knee and Function scores, radiographic outcomes and implant survivorship. CONCLUSION At a mean follow-up of 5 years, this study revealed no significant impact of gender on clinical outcomes and complications in patients undergoing medial UKA. Furthermore, no significant differences were evident in radiographic outcomes, implant positioning and knee phenotype. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who underwent knee joint arthroplasty were at risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), however, less studies were conducted to demonstrate the epidemiology and risk factors of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Objective of this study was to explore the incidence and prognostic factors of DVT after UKA. METHODS Patients who underwent primary UKA from December 2018 to June 2022 were recruited in this study. Demographic characteristics, operation related variables and laboratory index were extracted and analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to detect the optimum cut-off value for variables of interest. Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were performed to identify risk factors of DVT. RESULTS 351 UKAs with a mean age of 65.4 ± 7.1 years were reviewed. After 12.9 ± 11.2 months follow-up, 35 DVTs were confirmed which indicating an incidence of 9.9%. The results showed that occupation (agricultural laborer) (P = 0.008), disease duration > 8.5 years (P = 0.035), operation time > 169 min (P = 0.003), intraoperative blood loss > 102 ml (P < 0.001), BMI > 26.8 kg/m 2 (P = 0.001), preoperative D-dimer > 0.29 mg/L (P = 0.001), prothrombin time < 10.7 s (P = 0.033) and INR < 0.98 (P = 0.032) between DVT and Non-DVT group were significantly different. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed intraoperative blood loss > 102 ml (OR, 3.707; P, 0.001), BMI > 26.8 kg/m 2 (OR, 4.664; P, 0.004) and D-dimer > 0.29 mg/L (OR, 2.882; P, 0.009) were independent risk factors of DVT after UKA. CONCLUSION The incidence of DVT in the present study was 9.9%, extensive intraoperative blood loss, advanced BMI and high level of D-dimer would increase the risk of lower extremity thrombosis by 2-4 times.

Knee 2024; 47:186-195. [PMID: 38401343 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2023.12.005] [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: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Almost 50% of the patients requiring knee replacement are suitable for medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). However, national registries have shown a use far below 50%. AIM The aim of this study was to identify the factors that could influence the use of UKA. METHODS A questionnaire was conducted among practicing knee surgeons of the Dutch Orthopedic Association. The questionnaire was classified into three domains: surgeon, patient selection, and professional opinion. Associations between the domains and UKA volume and contra-indications were tested using Pearson's chi-square tests. RESULTS Of the 113 included respondents, 40% had no hands-on exposure during residency. Frequently reported contra-indications were obesity (68%), lateral osteophytes (21%), chondrocalcinosis (20%), and age (20%). Medial partial thickness lesions were considered a contra-indication by 49% and lateral joint space narrowing by 61% of the respondents. Respondents perceived UKA to outperform total knee arthroplasty regarding all outcomes, except survival (1.8% versus 42%). The reported barriers for UKA use were insufficient experience (20%), high revision rates (20%), and low hospital volume (16%), whereas 60% did not experience any at all. Hands-on UKA exposure during residency was associated with an increased use of correct indications. Furthermore, the use of correct indications was associated with an increased UKA volume. CONCLUSION We showed a low UKA exposure during residency and considerable variations in contra-indications. These factors may contribute to an underuse of UKA. Improved UKA training could lead to increased experience and better patient selection among surgeons and consequently a higher use of medial UKA.

First Italian Experience with the Oxinium Metal-Backed Fixed-Bearing Medial Journey II Unicompartmental Knee System: Promising Short-Term Outcomes of 145 Cases. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1303. [PMID: 38592148 PMCID: PMC10932057 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051303] [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: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) provides a viable alternative to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with isolated medial osteoarthritis (OA). From 2007 to 2021, 23% of all primary knee arthroplasties in Italy were UKAs. We retrospectively evaluated clinical outcomes and satisfaction in patients implanted with a new oxinium metal-backed fixed-bearing medial unicompartmental prosthesis at a 24-month follow-up. (2) Methods: From December 2020 to December 2021, 145 patients were treated by a single surgeon at a single institution using the hypoallergenic Journey II prosthesis. Clinical outcome measures included the Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), Oxford Knee Society (OKS) score, University of California Los Angeles Activity Score (UCLA), the Physical Component Summary (PCS), and the Mental Component Summary (MCS), and were calculated preoperatively and at 12 and 24 months. The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) was calculated at 12 and 24 months. Patient satisfaction was collected at 24 months. The scores were compared using the Friedman test. (3) Results: All clinical scores improved significantly from baseline to 24 months (p < 0.0001), except for the FJS-12, which from 12 to 24 months did not improve significantly (p = 0.041). Patient satisfaction was 9.32 ± 0.74 out of 10. No patient experienced complications or required revision surgery. (4) Conclusions: The Journey II unicompartmental prosthesis is a valuable treatment option for end-stage medial OA, improving knee function, providing pain relief, and ensuring high patient satisfaction at 24 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is a prevalent condition in older adults that leads to reduced physical function in many patients and ultimately requires hip or knee replacement. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of hip and knee arthroplasty on the physical performance of orthogeriatric patients with osteoarthritis. METHODS In this prospective study, we used data from 135 participants of the ongoing Special Orthopaedic Geriatrics (SOG) trial, funded by the German Federal Joint Committee (GBA). Physical function, measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), was assessed preoperatively, 3 and 7 days postoperatively, 4-6 weeks and 3 months after hip and knee arthroplasty. For the statistical analysis, the Friedman test and post-hoc tests were used. RESULTS Of the 135 participants with a mean age of 78.5 ± 4.6 years, 81 underwent total hip arthroplasty and 54 total knee arthroplasty. In the total population, SPPB improved by a median of 2 points 3 months after joint replacement (p < 0.001). In the hip replacement group, SPPB increased by a median of 2 points 3 months after surgery (p < 0.001). At 3 months postoperatively, the SPPB increased by a median of 1 point in the knee replacement group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Elective total hip and knee arthroplasty leads to a clinically meaningful improvement in physical performance in orthogeriatric patients with osteoarthritis after only a few weeks. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study is part of the Special Orthopaedic Geriatrics (SOG) trial, German Clinical Trials Register DRKS00024102. Registered on 19 January 2021.

Abstract
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in isolated medial or lateral osteoarthritis leads to good clinical results. However, revision rates are higher in comparison to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). One reason is suboptimal fitting of conventional off-the-shelf prostheses, and major overhang of the tibial component over the bone has been reported in up to 20% of cases. In this retrospective study, a total of 537 patient-specific UKAs (507 medial prostheses and 30 lateral prostheses) that had been implanted in 3 centers over a period of 10 years were analyzed for survival, with a minimal follow-up of 1 year (range 12 to 129 months). Furthermore, fitting of the UKAs was analyzed on postoperative X-rays, and tibial overhang was quantified. A total of 512 prostheses were available for follow-up (95.3%). Overall survival rate (medial and lateral) of the prostheses after 5 years was 96%. The 30 lateral UKAs showed a survival rate of 100% at 5 years. The tibial overhang of the prosthesis was smaller than 1 mm in 99% of cases. In comparison to the reported results in the literature, our data suggest that the patient-specific implant design used in this study is associated with an excellent midterm survival rate, particularly in the lateral knee compartment, and confirms excellent fitting.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to compare the patient-reported functional outcomes and patient satisfaction after medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) versus Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), performed for anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) of the knee in patients from an Indian population, at a minimum 3-year follow-up. METHODS This is a prospective matched cohort study (1:2 ratio). One hundred and one UKA cases were matched to 206 TKA cases by propensity score matching for age, body mass index (BMI), gender distribution, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The primary outcome (Oxford knee score, OKS) was assessed at a 3-year follow-up, along with secondary outcomes (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC] Score, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), Anterior Knee Pain (Kujala) score, patient satisfaction, and revision rate at the final follow-up). RESULTS The UKA group was superior to the TKA group in patient-reported functional outcomes based on the OKS (p = 0.004). Using the FJS score, UKA was more likely to be a forgotten joint compared to TKA (p < 0.001). However, differences in the OKS and FJS did not meet the reported minimal clinically important difference (MCID) thresholds. Quality of life (EuroQol-5D VAS scale) was found to be significantly higher in the UKA group (p < 0.001). Patients in the UKA group were more likely to be very satisfied (75.2%) versus the TKA group (62.1%, p = 0.023). CONCLUSION For AMOA, UKA was associated with improved patient satisfaction compared to TKA. Although patient-reported outcome measures were statistically in favour of UKA over TKA, the differences were not clinically significant. Multicenter and randomized studies comparing the two procedures are warranted. EVIDENCE Level-II Therapeutic.
