Abstract |
Background |
In selected patients with failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), revision UKA is a reliable option and may even provide lower morbidity rates and better functional outcomes compared to revision total knee arthroplasty.
Material and methods |
In a multicentre retrospective study of 425 knees requiring revision surgery after UKA, 36 knees were managed with revision UKA.
Results |
Of the 36 knees, 3 (8.33%) required iterative revision surgery, for aseptic loosening. After a mean follow-up of 8.3 years, the mean IKS knee and function scores were high (93.81/100 and 90.77/100, respectively).
Discussion |
In carefully selected patients, UKA-to-UKA revision performed according to a rigorous operative technique deserves a role in the surgical strategy for failed UKA.
Level of evidence |
III, multicentre retrospective case-control study.
