Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is an effective procedure for lateral post-meniscectomy knee osteoarthritis: a case–control study at a mean 7-year follow‐up
Lateral UKA is a valid procedure for lateral PMKO. The clinical and radiographic results are similar in patients underwent lateral UKA for lateral PMKO and for LCKO. Patients with lateral PMKO exhibited severe lateral OA preoperatively and less OA progression in the medial compartment compared to those with LCKO. It is crucial to prevent ascension of the lateral femoral joint-line and maintain proper valgus alignment during lateral UKA.
