Patient-specific instrumentation improved mechanical alignment, while early clinical outcome was comparable to conventional instrumentation in TKA.
The aim of this prospective study was to compare early clinical outcome, radiological limb alignment, and three-dimensional (3D)-component positioning between conventional and computed tomography (CT)-based patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in primary mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ Prospective comparative study, Level II.

Good survivorship of all-polyethylene tibial component UKA at long-term follow-up.
To determine the long-term survival rate of an all-polyethylene tibial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in a large series of consecutive patients and to investigate the possible factors that could influence the outcome. ⋯ Retrospective Therapeutic Study, Level IV.

The difference in centre position in the ACL femoral footprint inclusive and exclusive of the fan-like extension fibres.
The purpose of this study was to compare the centre position of each anterior cruciate ligament bundle in its femoral footprint in measurements including and excluding the fan-like extension fibres. ⋯ The centre position of the AM and PL bundles in the femoral ACL footprint was significantly different depending on the inclusion or exclusion of the fan-like extension fibres. For the clinical relevance, to reproduce the direct femoral insertion in the anatomical ACL reconstruction, tunnels should be placed relatively shallow and high in the femoral ACL footprint.

ReviewClinical outcome after UKA and HTO in ACL deficiency: a systematic review.
In the treatment of medial osteoarthritis secondary to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury there is no consensus about optimum treatment, with both high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) being viable options. The aim of this review was to compare the outcomes of these treatments, both with or without ACL reconstruction. ⋯ IV.

No difference in anterior knee pain after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in patients with or without patellofemoral osteoarthritis.
The purpose of the present study was to compare functional outcomes of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PF OA) and those without PF OA and to evaluate the effect of PF OA on functional outcomes after UKA. ⋯ III.
