3 What Do We Know About PKA vs TKA? Higher patient satisfaction 2 Fewer surgical complications 3 Shorter hospitalization with PKA 4 3 3

4 What About Function in PKA? Functional score higher for PKA vs TKA 5-7

5 What about QOL in PKA? 65 cement PKA implanted in 62 patients < 60, at 10 years FU Parratte, S., et al. "Medial unicompartmental knee replacement in the under- 50s." Bone & Joint Journal 91.3 (2009): Pain Symptoms ADL Sport QOL KOOS (21 to 100) (27 to 100) (21 to 100) (0 to 100) (30 to 100) SATISFACTION 94% satisfied or enthusiast 3% no change 3% disappointed Douleur Symptomes Acitivités Sport QDV Series1

6 What About Kinematics in PKA? Knee kinematics which resembles normal during stair climbing 8

7 Long term results of PKA Peer reviewed results 90% survivorship at 20 years: M/G Uni fixed-bearing knee 9,10,11,12 94% survivorship AUS Registry at 10 years ( ZUK ) Standing AP radiographs after 13 years Long axis of the femoral components perpendicular to the tibia and parallel to the long axis of the tibia No evidence of loosening

8 Despite Results UKA is Under Represented 8% of knee replacements worldwide 13,14 Roughly 30% of US Orthopedic Surgeons reported to AJRR they perform UKA 15 Most are done by a small group of enthusiasts Surgeons Performing Knee Arthroplasty 70% 30% UKA TKA Only 8

9 Why Do Most Orthopaedic Surgeons See These X- Rays..

10 Envision this Solution?

11 Rather than an Ideal UKA Candidate?

12 What Factors Influence this Decision?

13 Early History of UKA was Controversial Excellent results reported 20 yr data rivals TKA 1980 s 1990 s 2000 s Now Poor results reported UKS s are <2% 1993: Stern, Becker, and Insall- Limited Indications MIS techniques UKA s still only 7 9% 1980 s poor results reported by influential surgeons 16,17 Led to confusion concerning the indications for and value of the procedure 1990 UKA comprised approximately 1 2% of the knee arthroplasty cases performed in US 18 Few Orthopedists received training

14 Why the Early Poor Results? I. Implant Design Fixation, size, coverage, and constraint II. Polyethylene RAM extruded, terminally radiated oxygen stored and too thin

15 Early Poor Results Continued III. Poor technique Inaccurate instrumentation Poor inter-component alignment Intentional overcorrection 16 IV. Poor patient selection Post patellectomy 16 Inflammatory OA 19

16 Excellent Results Have been Reported Since the Mid 1990s Now we have 20 year results that rival TKA 9,10,11,12 But majority of Orthopedists remain resistant to performing UKA s

17 Is There a Lack of Indications for UKA? 1989: Kozinn and Scott JBJS Current Concepts: Ideal UKA Patient : Stern, Becker and Insall, UKA indicated in only 6% of patients: limited UKA to low activity, elderly, <82Kg with single compartment disease 21 HOWEVER on direct intra-operative visualization of 228 KA patients, 15% had isolated, single compartment arthritis Majority excluded for weight and activity 21

18 Usage Kozinn, Stuart C., Clare Marx, and Richard D. Scott. "Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a year follow-up study with a metal-backed tibial component." The Journal of arthroplasty 4 (1989): S1-S9. UKA usage = 20%! 22

19 Stanford VA Study What percent of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty are candidates for UKA? 2 Orthopedists, one who performed UKA and another who only performed TKA reviewed 280 sequential patients who had undergone 320 TKA s 23

20 Stanford VA Study Applied Very Conservative PKA Indications 23 : Standard exclusions: inflammatory OA, instability, prior osteotomy, flexion contracture > 10 Radiographic criteria: Varus > 10, Valgus > 15, any subluxation. NO Patellofemoral or opposite compartment joint space narrowing or subchondral irregularities. Using conservative criteria up to 26% of patients undergoing TKA are likely candidates for UKA 23

21 Is There a Lack of Indications for UKA? The incidence of single compartment OA appears to be 15 25% 21,23 AND, if mild to moderate PF OA accepted, as has been demonstrated by several authors, UKA may be indicated in up to 50% 24,25,26 It is probable that over 25% of knee arthroplasty patients would be suitable for UKA 24,25,26 No! Low utilization does not appear to be related to a lack of indications

22 Lack of Training and Technical Expertise? Many Orthopaedic Surgeons received little to no training in PKA Education or Experience may have been negative Most will perform a TKA rather than refer for a PKA Concerned about Disease Progression

23 Risk of Progressive Arthritis? Revision for progressive arthritis is <10% at years 10,11,12,27,28 AND, should this be considered a failure? 18 years normal knee function A Primary TKA

24 Why Not Just Do a TKA? UKA has lower surgical morbidity 3 Patients prefer UKA s Higher proportion of forgotten knee 29 Higher activity levels and better ROM 30,31 More normal kinematics 32 UKA is a cost effective solution 24,33,34

25 Summary The decision to proceed with a UKA is complex. Based on careful assessment of indications Surgeon training and expertise Openness to new information Willingness to do what may be best for the patient rather than what is most comfortable for the surgeon My Advice Get trained, Go Watch, Start in Non-MIS
