Published results showed a three-fold higher risk of revision when total knee arthroplasty was converted from medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty compared with primary total knee arthroplasty.
Anders El- Galaly , MD, and colleagues compared 1,012 TKAs converted from medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with 73,819 primary TKAs and 2,572 revision TKAs from the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Registry from 1997 to 2017. Researchers considered risk of revision as the primary outcome. Researchers also analyzed the influence of different implants, the indications for UKA conversion and surgical volume on the survival of TKA converted from UKA, and compared the indications for revision.
