摘要
BACKGROUND:There is a lack of literature reporting on long-term outcomes following robotic-arm-assisted lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). This study assessed the long-term survivorship, patient-reported satisfaction and pain scores following robotic-arm-assisted lateral UKA for lateral compartment osteoarthritis (OA).
METHODS:A single surgeon's database was reviewed to identify all patients who underwent robotic-arm-assisted lateral UKA with a cemented, fixed-bearing prosthesis prior to May 2015. Patients were contacted to determine implant survivorship, satisfaction and pain. Kaplan-Meier models were applied to analyse survival.
RESULTS:A total of 77 knees (70 patients) with a mean follow-up of 10.2 ± 1.5 years (range: 8.1-13.3) were included. Five knees were revised, corresponding to a 10-year survivorship of 96.1% and estimated survival time of 12.7 ± 0.3 years (95% confidence interval: 12.2-13.2) with all-cause revision as the endpoint. Unexplained pain (40.0%) and progression of OA (40.0%) in contralateral compartments were the most reported reasons for revision. Among patients without revision, 94.4% were either satisfied or very satisfied with their lateral UKA and the average pain score was 1.1.
CONCLUSION:Robotic-arm-assisted lateral UKA led to high implant survivorship and patient satisfaction, and low pain scores at long-term follow-up. Progression of OA in contralateral compartments and unexplained pain were the most frequent reasons for revision. These findings support the continued use of robotic-arm-assisted lateral UKA for lateral compartment OA; however, its clinical value over conventional techniques remains to be established in prospective comparative studies.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Therapeutic Level IV.
