Analysis of national real-world data on reoperations after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Reoperations are rare following mUKA in a high-volume country. The most frequent indications for further surgery were periprosthetic fracture, PJI, and bearing dislocation. Using internal fixation to treat periprosthetic fractures after mUKA gives poor results. Whether DAIR is an appropriate form of treatment for PJI in mUKAs, and how to ensure the effective eradication of infection in these patients, remains uncertain. Undersizing the femoral component might increase the risk of bearing dislocation.
