A five to seven-year follow-up of unicondylar arthroplasty
J Insall and P Aglietti
Thirty-two unicondylar knee replacements in thirty patients were done
between 1972 and 1974. Ten patients were lost to follow-up because of death
or other reasons. The remaining twenty-two knees (seventeen medial and five
lateral compartments replaced) had a follow-up ranging from five to seven
years, with an average of six years. Although the quality and result of
these unicondylar arthroplasties were initially considered good, they have
subsequently shown a marked deterioration. At the time of this report only
one knee was rated as excellent; seven knees, as good; four knees, as fair;
and ten knees, as poor. Seven knees (28 per cent) have been converted to a
bicondylar prosthesis. The lateral replacements did much better than the
medial replacements.
