Abstract

Introduction

Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has historically shown mixed results and there is limited contemporary literature on lateral robotic-assisted UKA (RA-UKA) outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term survivorship, clinical, and radiographic outcomes of lateral RA-UKA.

Methods

A retrospective review identified 138 lateral RA-UKAs performed from 2016 to 2022 at a single institution, with a study population of 58% women, a mean BMI of 27 kg/m², and a mean age of 62 years. The mean follow-up was two years. Kaplan-Meier analysis assessed survivorship free from all-cause reoperation and revision. A radiographic review evaluated component positioning, aseptic loosening, and osteoarthritis progression.

Results

The one- and two-year survivorship free from all-cause revision was 100% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 100 to 100%). The one- and two-year survivorship free from all-cause reoperation was 97% (95% CI: 91 to 99%) and 96% (95% CI: 90 to 98%), respectively. There were six (4%) reoperations, most commonly for arthroscopic lysis/removal of scar tissue, synovitis, and osteophyte. The mean anatomic tibiofemoral angle decreased from 9.7° to 5.9° valgus. At the latest follow-up, 11 (8%) knees showed radiographic osteoarthritis progression. From preoperatively to two years postoperatively, the mean Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement increased from 56 to 82 (P < 0.0001), and the mean visual analog scale for pain decreased from 53 to 18 (P = 0.001).

Conclusions

Short-term follow-up of contemporary lateral RA-UKA demonstrated high survivorship free from all-cause reoperation (96%) and revision (100%). Patients had significant improvements in PROMs, and a minority had osteoarthritis progression.

期刊介绍： The Knee is an international journal publishing studies on the clinical treatment and fundamental biomechanical characteristics of this joint. The aim of the journal is to provide a vehicle relevant to surgeons, biomedical engineers, imaging specialists, materials scientists, rehabilitation personnel and all those with an interest in the knee. The topics covered include, but are not limited to: • Anatomy, physiology, morphology and biochemistry; • Biomechanical studies; • Advances in the development of prosthetic, orthotic and augmentation devices; • Imaging and diagnostic techniques; • Pathology; • Trauma; • Surgery; • Rehabilitation.
