To evaluate trends in publications on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) from the past to the present.
As a web-based analysis, all UKA research articles, editorial letters, case reports, reviews and meeting abstracts published on the Thomson Reuters' Web of Knowledge were evaluated. The period from the first publication in 1980 to January 2019 was divided into four decades and publications were evaluated. Research articles were grouped into headings according to the subjects.
A total of 1,658 publications were evaluated in this study. The most frequent term used in the publications title was "outcome," with 260 items, followed by "biomechanics and kinematics," with 99 items. Most reports have been published in the last decade, and the most common type of publication was postoperative follow-up and results.
In parallel with technological advancements, publications related to UKA-especially patient-specific instrumentation, navigation, and robotic surgery-will increase in number and become more specific.
评估过去至今单髁膝关节置换术（UKA）的出版物趋势。
作为一项基于网络的分析，对汤森路透知识网络上发表的所有UKA研究文章、编辑信件、病例报告、综述和会议摘要进行评估。将1980年首次发表至2019年1月的时间段分为四个十年，并对出版物进行评估。研究文章根据主题分组。
本研究共评估了1658篇出版物。出版物标题中使用最频繁的术语是“结果”，有260项，其次是“生物力学和运动学”，有99项。大多数报告发表于过去十年，最常见的出版物类型是术后随访和结果。
随着技术进步，与UKA相关的出版物——尤其是针对患者的器械、导航和机器人手术——数量将增加且变得更加具体。
