The Journal of Arthroplasty: Do Outcomes Differ After Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Based on Indications? A Prospective Cohort Study
We prospectively followed 94 UKA patients and found that both strict and liberal indication groups had significant improvements in PROMs, with the liberal group showing greater gains in VR-12 mental and UCLA Activity scores. Survivorship was 98.1% at 3.3 years, with no difference in complications or reoperations. These findings support expanding UKA indications without compromising outcomes.
