ABSTRACT:

Background

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes over five years, including Knee Society Pain Scores (KSPS), Knee Society Scores (KSS), Knee Society Function Scores (KSFS), range of motion (ROM), and survival rates-of UKA vs. TKA in knee osteoarthritis patients.
