This retrospective study reports the senior author's (J.A.R.) results with minimally invasive unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). A total of 136 UKAs were performed in 1992 for the treatment of unicondylar osteoarthrosis. The surgical technique involves a limited medial parapatellar incision that reduces perioperative morbidity and bone preparation techniques that emphasize preservation of bone for future arthroplasty procedures. At 8 years, 4% of Ahlback stage 2 and 3 patients had undergone revision. Minimally invasive UKA provides a low morbidity alternative treatment for symptomatic medial compartment osteoarthritis.
这项回顾性研究报告了资深作者（J.A.R.）采用微创单髁膝关节置换术（UKA）的结果。1992年共进行了136例UKA手术，用于治疗单髁骨关节炎。手术技术包括有限的内侧髌旁切口，以降低围手术期发病率，以及强调保留骨以便未来进行关节置换手术的骨准备技术。在8年时，Ahlback 2期和3期患者中有4%接受了翻修手术。微创UKA为有症状的内侧间室骨关节炎提供了一种低发病率的替代治疗方法。
