Does unicompartmental knee arthroplasty have worse outcomes in spontaneous
osteonecrosis of the knee than in medial compartment osteoarthritis? A systematic
review and meta-analysis
Chan Yoon

Introduction
: The role of Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK) remains
controversial, even though SONK involves only one compartment of the knee joint. We aimed to compare the survival rate and
clinical outcomes of UKA in SONK and medial compartment osteoarthritis (MOA) via a meta-analysis of previous studies.
Materials and Methods
: MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched up to January 2018 with keywords related
to SONK and knee arthroplasty. Studies were selected with predetermined inclusion criteria: (1) medial UKA as the primary
procedure, (2) reporting implant survival or clinical outcomes of osteonecrosis and osteoarthritis, and (3) follow-up period > 1
year. Quality assessment was performed using the risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies. A random-effects
model was used to estimate the pooled relative risk (RR) and standardized mean difference.
Results
: The incidence of UKA revision for any reason was significantly higher in SONK than in MOA group (pooled RR =
1.83, p = 0.009). However, the risk of revision due to aseptic loosening was not
significantly different between the groups (Figure 1). Moreover, when stratified
by the study quality, high quality studies showed similar risk of overall revision
in SONK and MOA (p = 0.71). Subgroup analysis revealed no significant
difference in failure between SONK and MOAafter cemented mobile and fixed
bearing UKA. Results of uncemented UKA was reported only in one study,
which showed higher failure of SONK compared to MOA. Clinical outcomes
after UKA were similar between SONK and MOA (p = 0.66).
Conclusions
: Cemented UKA has similar survival and clinical outcomes in
SONK and MOA. Prospective studies designed specifically to compare the
UKA outcomes in SONK and MOA are necessary.
