Residual Symptoms and Function After Unicompartmental and Total Knee Arthroplasty: Comparable to Normative Controls?
Whether patient-reported symptoms and function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) compare favorably to similar individuals without a diagnosis of knee pathology has not been investigated. ⋯ When interviewed by an independent, third party, a substantial percentage of control patients reported the presence of knee symptoms, but to a lesser degree than patients after a knee arthroplasty.
