Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty: is it a safe and effective technique nowadays?
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Whether nowadays total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold standard in treating advanced osteoarthritis (OA) affecting all of the three compartments of the knee, it becomes more controversial when OA only involves two of them. Although encouraging results are emerging from recent studies, further prospective, randomized, long-term analysis comparing BKA and TKA have to be performed before definitive treatment recommendation could be determined; analysis of outcomes of PFA replacement in a not definitive indication in patella management in TKA is today mandatory.
