Partial vs Total Knee Arthroplasty for Medial Compartment Osteoarthritis .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Early Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial of Partial Versus Total Knee Arthroplasty
J Arthroplasty . 2022 Jun;37(6S):S94-S97.One hundred and seven patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis were randomized to receive unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA; n=57) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA; n=50). The primary outcomes of this trial were to assess patient-reported outcomes such as Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR), Knee Society Score (KSS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), range of motion (ROM), and VR-12 global health scores at 6 weeks and 6 months follow-up. Radiographic and surgical complications were also recorded. The results of this trial showed no significant differences in KOOS, JR, KSS, and FJS at 6 weeks and 6 months follow-up. Significant differences were apparent for ROM at 6 weeks and VR-12 6 months with better outcomes in UKA and TKA, respectively.
