The clinical outcome was significantly better in the UKA group at 6 months. But in the two groups, there were no significant differences at 12 months and 2-year follow-up, and the mechanical axis correction effect is greater than the UKA group. Based on our research, HTO with articular cartilage surgery can be considered as the treatment of choice for more active and younger patients with unicompartmental OA.
Osteolysis of the patella occurs in benign or malignant bone tumors, metastatic disease, osteolytic infections, degenerative, or metabolic bone disease. Several cases of patellar destruction secondary to gout have been reported. However, there has only been one case of bipartite patellar bone destruction secondary to gout reported in the literature. We encountered a patient with an osteolytic lesion of the bipartite patella suggesting a bone tumor or metabolic bone disease. A biopsy and histology examination suggested a diagnosis of gout tophi. This case demonstrated bilateral bipartite patella with gout involvement on the plain roentgenograms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
