Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty may be considered in patients with the following conditions:

In the United States, this procedure constitutes approximately 8% of knee arthroplasty.

Results of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at a minimum of ten years of follow-up.

Knee arthroplasty is major surgery.

About two-thirds of the doctors - 67% - recommended total knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty) to the man.

Discussion Previous authors have examined the relationship between inherited hypercoagulable states and thromboembolism following total hip and knee arthroplasty with mixed results.

There is controversy concerning the effectiveness of CPM following Knee Arthroplasty.

The only competitive reduced-wear option for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is metal-on-cross-linked polyethylene.

Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability.

Total knee replacement; Knee arthroplasty; Knee replacement - total The operation is performed under general anesthesia.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to correct valgus deformity is surgically difficult and requires specialized implants called constrained condylar knees.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a minimally-invasive procedure to replace one of the knee's three parts (thighbone, shinbone, or kneecap) to restore function.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure used to relieve arthritis in one of the knee compartments in which the damaged parts of the knee are replaced.

Although the majority of patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty are subjected to similar perioperative risk factors that predispose to thromboembolism, only a subset of patients develop this complication.

Knee manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is indicated for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients who have not obtained at least 90 of flexion by the 6th postoperative week.

The same study also concluded that MAKOplasty unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is more accurate than manual unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

We chose to study patients considering undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) because we are formalizing a patient education program for these patients.

Patients with bicompartmental MAKOplasty have improved function over those with total knee replacement surgery, and demonstrate better post-operative range of motion and quadriceps strength compared to total knee arthroplasty.

The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a Patient Reported Outcome questionnaire that was developed to specifically assess the patient's perspective of outcome following Total Knee Arthroplasty.

SIR,- Dr Parmet and colleagues' (April 24, p 1057) demonstration of venous emboli detected during knee arthroplasty illustrates the use of a technique that may have much wider applications in the study of embolism.

One assessment of multiple studies indicates that CPM following knee arthroplasty gives a total benefit of 0.69 days less in the hospital and 4 more degrees of motion (only at 2 weeks of follow-up) than physical therapy alone.
