ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Surgical options for patients with unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis include high tibial osteotomy (HTO) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). When managing younger patients with a higher chance of further surgery, the outcome of any subsequent conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) also needs to be considered. The aim of this study was to compare implant survivorship and patient-reported outcomes for patients undergoing TKA after previous HTO or UKA, with comparisons for age, gender and comorbidities.METHODS:
Revision risk and 6-month Oxford Knee Scores (OKS) from the New Zealand Joint Registry were compared for patients who underwent TKA after HTO (HTO-TKA; n = 1556) or UKA (UKA-TKA; n = 965) between 1999 and 2019, with a comparison group of primary TKA (n = 110,948). Mean follow-up was 8.2 years.RESULTS:
Adjusted revision risk was similar for HTO-TKA and UKA-TKA groups (hazard ratio (HR) 1.04, p = 0.84); and risk for both groups were higher than primary TKA (HTO-TKA HR 1.45, p = 0.002; UKA-TKA HR 1.51, p = 0.01). Overall adjusted mean OKS at 6 months for HTO-TKA (36.2) was similar to primary TKA (36.8, p = 0.23); and both were higher than UKA-TKA (34.2, p < 0.001). For the youngest patient group (< 55 years), revision rates of UKA-TKA were two-fold higher than HTO-TKA (2.8 vs. 1.3 per 100 component yrs, p < 0.03). HTO-TKA had better OKS (37.5 vs. 34.1, p < 0.0001) for males. Mean OKS for UKA-TKA was lower than HTO-TKA for patients with ASA 1-2 (35.6 vs. 37.5, p < 0.01).CONCLUSION:
The findings from this study suggest that revision rate following TKA after HTO and UKA are similar. However, TKA after HTO have superior functional outcomes compared with TKA after UKA and are comparable to functional outcomes post primary TKA. The results support the use of HTO for young, male and less co-morbid patients.
