Dizde Medial Kompartman Artrozlu Hastalarda Uygulanan Unikondiler Diz Artroplastisi Cerrahisinin Kısa-Orta Dönemde Retrospektif Sonuçları

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare of preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiological findings of the patients with medial compartmental artrosis who underwent the surgery of the unicondylar knee prosthesis. Decrease or disappearance of patient's pain level, assessment of the quality of life of these patients and Knee Society Score (KSS), KSS function score and VAS score compared in both groups. Materials and methods: Between January 2014 and December 2017 in the Orthopaedic Clinic of Health Sciences University Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, patients who underwent Unicondyler Knee Arthroplasty surgery due to medial compartmental arthrosis were included in the study. Retrospectively, demographic data, weight bearing anteroposterior-lateral knee x-ray graphics, orthoroentgenogram, KSS and VAS scores, preoperative and postoperative knee range of motions were recorded. Results: 44 knees of the 38 patients are evaluated, the mean age of the 44 cases was 57.09 years. Of the 44 cases, the mean follow-up period was 40,08 months. According to the Knee Society Score system, the preoperative score was 55.64 and postoperative 83.32; the KSS function score was 83.75 before the operation and 93.98 postoperatively. The mean range of motion was 107.61 degrees preoperatively and 118.52 degrees postoperatively. Conclusion: The short-mid-term results of our cases are similar as literature which compares Knee Society Score and the radiographical evaluation. Unicondylar knee arthroplasty can be performed in selected appropriated cases.
