Eighty-five fixed bearing medial unicompartmental arthroplasties were performed in 42 men and 33 women with a mean age of 49Â years (range, thirty-three to fifty-five years old) at the time of surgery. At a mean of 4.0Â years (range two to twelve years), the mean pre-operative Knee Society score improved from 49 to 95.1 points (P<Â 0.0001) and the mean UCLA activity score was 7.5 (range 5 to 9). Three knees underwent revision to a total knee arthroplasty; two for arthritic progression in the lateral compartment and one for pain. At the time of final follow-up, two knees (2.4%) demonstrated progressive Grade 4 arthritis of the patellofemoral compartment but were asymptomatic. There was no radiographic evidence of loosening, osteolysis, or premature polyethylene wear. Estimated survivorship was 96.5% at 10Â years. UKA offered excellent early outcomes in this cohort of younger, active patients.
