Bone-on-Bone Contact on Radiograph is not a Prerequisite for Successful Outcome in Fixed-Bearing Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty—A 10-Year Follow-Up Study
Abstract:Introduction Patients without bone-on-bone osteoarthritis are excluded from mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty due to higher revision rates and poorer outcomes. However, we do not know if the same indication applies to fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty implants. Our study aims to compare functional outcomes and revision rates in patients with and without bone-on-bone arthritis undergoing fixed-bearing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
