Unicompartmental replacement and high tibial osteotomy for osteoarthritis of the knee. A comparative study after 5-10 years' follow-up.
We have made a retrospective comparison between the results of 49 high tibial osteotomies and 42 unicompartmental replacement arthroplasties performed for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, assessed 5 to 10 years after operation. The type of operation depended on the policy of the consultant responsible for treatment but analysis of the pre-operative findings showed that the two groups were sufficiently similar for direct comparison between them. In the replacement group, 32 (76%) were good, 4 were fair, 3 were poor and 3 had been revised. In the osteotomy group 21 (43%) were good, 11 were fair, 7 were poor and 10 had been revised. It was concluded that, in this series, the results of unicompartmental replacement were significantly better and that this group had shown no sign of late deterioration.
