Title: functional results of total-knee arthroplasty versus medial unicompartmental arthroplasty: two year results of a randomised, assessor-blinded multicentre trial.Authors: jani knifsund , tuukka niinimaki, heikki nurmi, alar toom, hannes keemu, inari laaksonen, matti seppänen, antti liukas, konsta pamilo, t vahlberg, ville äärimaa, kt mäkelä.Published on (b)(6) 2021.On (b)(6) 2021, a journal article was retrieved by our clinical team that reported a study from finland which looked at the effect of the clinical effectiveness of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty versus total knee arthroplasty in patients with isolated medial osteoarthritis of the knee.This study analysed the patients who were enrolled between december 2015 and may 2018 from the outpatient clinics of three public high-volume arthroplasty hospitals (finland).143 patients with symptomatic-isolated medial osteoarthritis of the knee needing an arthroplasty procedure.All the patients were suitable for both unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasties.The recovery after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty was faster compared with total knee arthroplasty, but unicompartmental arthroplasty did not provide a better patient-reported outcome at 2 years.The study reports revision due to bearing dislocation in three patients.
