ABSTRACT
Sixty knees in 54 patients were followed a minimum of 10 years after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty surgery. Follow-up periods ranged from 10 to 18 years (average, 12 years). In all cases, a Marmor prosthesis was used. Two patients required arthroplasty surgery after the 10-year mark. Seven knees required revision prior to 10 years, and the 10- to 12-year survivorship for the entire cohort was 93%. Slight undercorrection of varus alignment and adequate polyethylene thickness of the tibial component appear to be important contributors to a successful outcome.
