Abstract

Aim

The purpose of our study was to evaluate retrospectively the mid-term results of the Miller-Galante II (Zimmer, Warsaw, USA) unicondylar knee arthoplasty (UKA).

Method

The study included 46 patients with medial UKAs. Mean follow-up time was 7.0 years (range 2.7–13.1 years).

Results

Survival rate of the prosthesis was 86.6% (95% CI 73.7–99.6) at 7 years. The mean clinical and functional Knee Society Scores had increased from 51 and 62 points preoperatively to 76 and 93 points (P < 0.001) postoperatively. Five of the 46 knees were revised because of excessive wear of the polyethylene liner, and three due to progression of the osteoarthritis in the lateral compartment of the knee.

Conclusion

Survival of this fixed-bearing UKA was not as good as previously reported and polyethylene wear seems to be a more common problem than previously assumed.
