AB - Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are established treatment options for end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. A vast amount of evidence is available on the relative risks and benefits of UKA and TKA. Proponents of TKA argue that the revision rate of UKA is much higher than that of TKA. Supporters of UKA point to data suggesting that the threshold for revision of a UKA is lower than that applied to TKA, potentially because revising a UKA is an easier operation. Additionally, UKA is associated with numerous other benefits over TKA, including better functional outcomes, shorter hospital stays and lower morbidity/mortality. In this chapter, a clear summary of the relevant evidence regarding UKA and TKA is presented to enable informed decision-making.
