Abstract
Medial meniscal-bearing UKA provides good functional outcomes in all age-groups; however, in older patients (75+), the functional outcome deteriorated at 10 years presumably due to deteriorating health. Contrary to registry observations, the revision rate was not higher in younger patients. These results suggest that, with correct indications, patient age should not be considered a contraindication to medial meniscal-bearing UKA.
