Abstract:
Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is an effective treatment for end-stage, symptomatic unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee. However, certain aspects of the procedure are still debated. These areas of discussion include patient selection criteria, implant design and the discrepancy in survival rates between national registries and independent case series. These may contribute in limiting the more widespread acceptance of unicompartmental knee replacement. The aim of this paper is to review the up-to-date evidence on UKR and discuss the most relevant controversies regarding this procedure.
