Abstract

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has been and remains controversial. Poor results reported in early reviews established the opinion that total knee replacement was a more reliable and durable operation. More recent reports have demonstrated 10-year survivorship after unicondylar knee replacement that is comparable to total knee arthroplasty [1, 14, 22, 24, 25]. It is generally felt that these reports reflect improved patient selection, surgical technique, component design, and instrumentation. “Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty now is characterized as a procedure with a reliable 8- to 10- year outcome in improperly selected patients with osteoarthritis who receive a skillfully implanted, proper design” [5].
