Review Meta AnalysisNo difference between unicompartmental versus total knee arthroplasty for the management of medial osteoarthtritis of the knee in the same patient: a systematic review and pooling data analysis.
One-third of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) has involvement of only one compartment, especially the medial one. ⋯ Large, multicentre, powered, randomized trials comparing UKA and TKA are needed to identify the best management for medial OA of the knee. Moreover, new score systems for satisfaction of the patient should be formulated.
