Proprioception after unicondylar knee arthroplasty versus total knee arthroplasty.
Proprioception was measured in 2 groups of patients after successful knee arthroplasty. Twenty-eight patients had total knee arthroplasty and their results were compared with an age matched group of 10 subjects who had undergone unicondylar knee arthroplasty. The threshold to detection of passive motion was quantified as a measure of proprioception. The degree of preoperative arthritis was obje...
متن کاملPatient-specific guide for revision of medial unicondylar knee arthroplasty to total knee arthroplasty
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Unicompartmental to total knee arthroplasty revision surgery can be technically demanding. Joint line restoration, rotation, and augmentations can cause difficulties. We describe a new technique in which single-way fitting guides serve to position the knee system cutting blocks. METHOD Preoperatively, images of the distal femur and proximal tibia are taken using CT scan...
متن کاملRevision of Unicondylar to Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review
Isolated unicompartmental osteoarthritis in the young patient is a difficult problem to treat; they may be too young to consider total knee arthroplasty due to difficulties with inevitable future revision. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is one possible solution as it is perceived by some as being a smaller surgical insult than total knee arthroplasty, with easier revision to total knee arth...
متن کاملPostural Stability after Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty and Patient-Specific Interpositional Knee Spacer
Purpose and Hypothesis. Knee osteoarthritis results, inter alia, in decreased postural stability. After arthroplasty, postural stability recovers, but it is unclear whether this can be ascribed to a reduction of pain or to the preserving of receptor-rich intraarticular soft tissue and natural knee kinematics. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether an unicondylar knee arthroplasty p...
متن کاملOutcome of Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty vs Total Knee Arthroplasty for Early Medial Compartment Arthritis: A Randomized Study.
BACKGROUND With increasing number of patients with early osteoarthritis of knee opting for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there has been increase in patients dissatisfied with surgical outcomes. It is being presumed that offering unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) to them would improve outcomes. METHODS Primary objective of our study was to look for any difference in patient-reported outcome...
