Medial meniscus posterior root tears with advanced osteoarthritis or subchondral insufficiency fracture are good indications for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at a minimum 2-year follow-up
Patients undergoing UKA with MMPRTs were younger with less radiographic osteoarthritic changes compared to those without MMPRTs, and their postoperative VAS-pain scores were significantly superior. The duration from the development of symptoms to the time of surgery significantly influenced postoperative pain in patients undergoing UKA.
