ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Most of the domestic and foreign literatures reported the mid-term and long-term effects of the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty of the mobile bearing, but few reported the mid-term and long-term clinical effects of the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty of the fixed bearing. Simultaneously, most of the studies did not analyze the knee function recovery and the lower limb force line change at different time points after the fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and also ignored the follow-up of the patientsself-feeling after the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

OBJECTIVE:

To explore the mid-term clinical effect of fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in the treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee joint and to observe the change of force line of lower limbs.

METHODS:

From January 2014 to January 2015, a retrospective analysis was made of the data of 66 patients diagnosed as osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee in the Department of Arthritis, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 66 patients were included, including 18 males and 48 females, aged (62.36±16.33) years. The American Knee Society knee score and the hospital for special surgery knee score were used to assess the knee function before and 1, 3 and 5 years after the operation. Visual analogue scale score was utilized to evaluate the severity of knee. Forgotten joint score was used to assess the subjective feeling of prosthesis after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Hip-knee-ankle angle and tibiofemoral angle were measured using X-ray films before treatment and at follow-up to evaluate the force line of weight-bearing lower limbs. RESULTS AND

CONCLUSION:

(1) The postoperative follow-up time was 5-6 years, averagely 5.5 years. The incision healed in the first stage. There was no early complication such as joint infection or lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, and there was no prosthesis loosening, dislocation or other diseases of the contralateral compartment and patellofemoral joint. (2) The American Knee Society knee score clinical score, American Knee Society knee score function score, hospital for special surgery knee score, knee motion range and visual analogue scale score were lower at 1, 3 and 5 years after operation than those before treatment (P 0.05). (3) Forgotten joint score was higher at 3 and 5 years after treatment than that at 1 year after treatment (P 0.05). (4) Hip-knee-ankle angle and tibiofemoral angle were significantly improved after treatment in all patients compared with those before treatment (P 0.05). (5) The results show that the mid-term clinical effect of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with fixed bearing is satisfactory, and the degree of self-prosthesis is high. After treatment, the force line of lower limbs was improved, and there was no significant change in the 5-year follow-up.
