Risk of Revision and Adverse Outcomes Following Partial Knee Replacement and High Tibial Osteotomy for Unicompartmental Knee Osteoarthritis: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate comparative study for potential associations of adverse outcomes as well as survival rates after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).

Methods

We reviewed the Korean National Health Insurance claims database from January 1, 2007 to May 31, 2019. A total of 90,705 patients aged 30-90 years who were newly treated for HTO or UKA were identified considering their eligibility. We performed four rounds of propensity score matching to reduce imbalance of baseline characteristics, especially disparities among different age groups. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to compare the risk of revision and various unwanted medical problems between HTO and UKA treatment groups after propensity score matching.
