Comparative Analysis of Unicompartmental Total Knee Arthroplasty and High Tibial Osteotomy: Time to Total Knee Arthroplasty and Other Outcome Measures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no consensus on whether unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA) or high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is superior for unicompartmental arthritis. While there are studies comparing revision and complication rates, none matched a large number of patients undergoing HTO and UKA in the United States and compared these outcomes. We investigated TKA conversion rate and the complications following HTO or UKA.

Methods

This retrospective study queried the PearlDiver database of all patients undergoing UKA and HTO using CPT codes between January 2011 and January 2020. We compared propensity-matched populations based on age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index, and Elixhauser comorbidity index to compare odds of complications, TKA conversion, and drug use between UKA and HTO gr
