| Popis: | Introduction: This study compared the immediate and early postoperative outcomes of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis patients receiving unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) with a matched cohort of total knee replacement (TKR). Methods: 26 UKR patients were matched with 26 TKR patients based on age, body mass index, pre-operative radiographic severity, range of motion (ROM), Knee Society score (KSS) and Feller patella score. Immediate postoperative outcomes were reflected by postoperative pain, blood loss, length of stay and the number of physiotherapy sessions attended. Early postoperative outcomes (ROM and KSS) were measured at 3 months and 1 year post-operatively. Results: UKR patients had less hemoglobin drop (UKR: 1.2 g/dL, TKR: 1.6 g/dL, p = 0.04), shorter length of stay (UKR: 4.3 days, TKR: 6.0 days, p 0.05) between the two groups. Patients receiving UKR had significantly higher post-operative KSS (UKR: 155.9, TKR: 142.4, p = 0.005) and ROM (UKR: 115.8o, TKR: 98.8o, p |
