Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

R W Jackson, W Burdick

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
    |November 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Modular unicompartmental knee prostheses showed excellent outcomes in elderly patients with single-compartment knee disease. This surgical approach led to significant improvement and high patient satisfaction, with no revisions or contralateral compartment degeneration observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Knee Arthroplasty

    Background:

    • Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is a viable option for specific patient groups.
    • Assessing long-term outcomes of modular unicompartmental knee prostheses is crucial for clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the outcomes of patients treated with Marmor modular-type unicompartmental knee prostheses.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this specific unicompartmental knee prosthesis design.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 17 knees treated with Marmor modular-type unicompartmental knee prostheses.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, operative details, follow-up duration, and clinical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Average patient age was 62 years, with an average follow-up of 59 months.
    • All 17 patients experienced improvement and reported satisfaction with the procedure.
    • No cases of revision surgery or degenerative changes in the contralateral compartment were recorded.

    Conclusions:

    • Marmor modular-type unicompartmental knee prostheses demonstrate favorable short-to-mid-term results.
    • Ideal candidates include elderly individuals with severe, single-compartment knee disease, correctable deformity, and good pre-operative knee function.
