The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery recently published the article Pre-Arthritic/Kinematic Alignment in Fixed-Bearing Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Results in Return to Activity at Mean 10-Year Follow-up written by the research team at the Orthopaedic Foundation, founded by Kevin D. Plancher’s, MD, MPH. This article is currently available for download online and in print: The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery: March 29, 2022 – Volume – Issue – 10.2106/JBJS.21.00801
doi: 10.2106/JBJS.21.00801.

This article debates the optimal alignment strategy in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The aim of the present study was to determine if pre-arthritic/kinematic alignment of knees would result in sustained long-term restoration of function, without conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), following non-robotically assisted, fixed-bearing medial UKA. Pre-arthritic/kinematically aligned knees in this non-robotically assisted fixed-bearing medial UKA cohort had superior outcomes, including the KOOS Activities of Daily Living and Sport subscales and achievement of the PASS for these measures, compared with non-pre-arthritic/kinematically aligned at an average of 10 years after UKA. Knees that fell within 3° of a simple aHKA measurement on a 3-foot (1-m)-long standing radiograph had greater longevity and return to activities.
