Abstract:
A total of 185 patients underwent unicompartmental knee replacements (UKR) in 206 knees over a period of 5 years. This is a retrospective look at the early results and a comment on the complications seen within the first year in these patients. Patient selection and technical error were responsible for the bulk of the complications seen within the first year post-operatively.

01:24Healing II: Complications
Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
