Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasties: Radiographic findings associated with conversion to total knee arthroplasty - A Case control study

Key Points

• Conversion to total knee arthroplasty is linked to specific radiographic findings in medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasties.
• Notably, variables such as joint alignment and bone quality significantly affect the conversion rate observed.
• This case control study assessed radiographic criteria among knee arthroplasty patients to uncover associated conversion factors.
• Findings highlight the potential need for closer monitoring of patients with particular radiographic characteristics.
