This review provides an overview of the causes for a symptomatic medial UKA, its risk factors, diagnostic modalities that can be used, and briefly discusses treatment options. Successful treatment of UKA requires accurate assessment and specific solutions for different modes of failure.
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has several advantages over total knee arthroplasty; however, in many reports, the risk of revision remains higher after UKA. Many reasons for failure of UKA exist. Successful treatment starts with accurate assessment of the symptomatic UKA as a specific mode of failure requires a specific solution. A structured and comprehensive evaluation aids assessment of the symptomatic UKA. This review provides an overview of the causes for a symptomatic medial UKA, its risk factors, diagnostic modalities that can be used, and briefly discusses treatment options.
