Résumé
Meniscectomy, whether partial or total, is a common knee surgery, but it considerably increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Lateral meniscectomy has more severe consequences than medial meniscectomy, leading to faster OA progression and worse clinical outcomes. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a suitable treatment option for lateral OA and has demonstrated better outcomes than total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical and functional results, OA progression in the medial compartment, and implant survivorship following lateral UKA in patients with OA secondary to lateral meniscectomy and to compare these outcomes with those of patients who underwent lateral UKA for primary lateral OA. Between 2001 and 2017, 214 lateral UKAs were performed. Of these, 42 were performed for OA secondary to lateral meniscectomy. The control group was composed of patients who underwent lateral UKA for primary lateral OA and was formed through a 1:1 case-control matching process based on sex, age, body mass index, and operation date. The outcomes that were studied included range of motion, Knee Society Score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Score, Tegner Activity Scale, Forgotten Joint Score, visual analog scale for pain, OA progression in the medial compartment, and implant survivorship. At a mean follow-up of 10.2 years, both groups demonstrated significant improvements (p < 0.01) after lateral UKA in all clinical and functional scores except the UCLA Activity Score and Tegner Activity Scale. No significant differences in clinical and functional scores were found between the groups. However, patients with OA secondary to meniscectomy exhibited significantly less OA progression in the medial compartment (p = 0.035) and higher 10-year implant survival (97.6% versus 83.3%). Lateral UKA is an effective treatment option for OA secondary to lateral meniscectomy, providing excellent functional outcomes and survivorship. Patients with post-meniscectomy OA exhibited less OA progression in the medial compartment than patients with primary OA and, consequently, had better 10-year implant survivorship. Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Meniscectomy, whether partial or total, is a common knee surgery, but it considerably increases the risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Lateral meniscectomy has more severe consequences than medial meniscectomy, leading to faster OA progression and worse clinical outcomes. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a suitable treatment option for lateral OA and has demonstrated better outcomes than total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical and functional results, OA progression in the medial compartment, and implant survivorship following lateral UKA in patients with OA secondary to lateral meniscectomy and to compare these outcomes with those of patients who underwent lateral UKA for primary lateral OA.
METHODS
METHODS
Between 2001 and 2017, 214 lateral UKAs were performed. Of these, 42 were performed for OA secondary to lateral meniscectomy. The control group was composed of patients who underwent lateral UKA for primary lateral OA and was formed through a 1:1 case-control matching process based on sex, age, body mass index, and operation date. The outcomes that were studied included range of motion, Knee Society Score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Score, Tegner Activity Scale, Forgotten Joint Score, visual analog scale for pain, OA progression in the medial compartment, and implant survivorship.
RESULTS
RESULTS
At a mean follow-up of 10.2 years, both groups demonstrated significant improvements (p < 0.01) after lateral UKA in all clinical and functional scores except the UCLA Activity Score and Tegner Activity Scale. No significant differences in clinical and functional scores were found between the groups. However, patients with OA secondary to meniscectomy exhibited significantly less OA progression in the medial compartment (p = 0.035) and higher 10-year implant survival (97.6% versus 83.3%).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Lateral UKA is an effective treatment option for OA secondary to lateral meniscectomy, providing excellent functional outcomes and survivorship. Patients with post-meniscectomy OA exhibited less OA progression in the medial compartment than patients with primary OA and, consequently, had better 10-year implant survivorship.
