The Anterior Impingement After Mobile-Bearing Unicomparimental Knee Arthroplasty-A Neglected Problem. A Clinical Report of 14 Cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA) is a proven implant that has reliably delivered excellent results for decades. Based on the constrained implant design in MB-UKA, the occasional occurrence of anterior impingement should be expected. However, surprisingly, there are no clinical reports.

Methods

From 2016 to 2020, 14 patients with anterior medial knee pain were admitted to our arthroplasty center after MB-UKA implantation elsewhere. After taking the medical history and clinical examination, radiological imaging of the implant in at least 2 planes, including a whole-leg anteroposterior view, was performed. The "Knee Society Score (KSS)" and the "Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)" were recorded. Anterior impingement was diag
