Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) continues to increase in popularity as an excellent option for patients with single compartment disease. Robotic-assisted UKA has emerged as an optional tool with hopes for improvement in component placement, limb alignment, and patient outcomes. Furthermore, as patients continue to educate themselves, robotic assistance will become increasingly prevalent. There are now various robotic platforms on the market, each with varying differences, and more published data are emerging on alignment and outcomes. The literature to date largely concludes that robotic-assisted UKA provides more accuracy than manual UKA. Short- to mid-term outcomes may be improved with robotic UKA, but definitive differences in outcomes are uncertain. Survivorship with robotic UKA is non-inferior to reported manual UKA survivorship rates, and more long-term data are needed to fully elucidate this point. Orthopaedic surgeons should weigh these potential advantages against the drawbacks including cost and operative time when making a decision about whether robotic technology is right for their practice.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient osteoarthritic knee presents a challenging disease entity, which requires careful thought to restore function and enable return to activities. Advancements in technology and surgical techniques have expanded indications for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), to inlcude ACL-deficiency in appropriately-selected patients. An improved understanding of the ACL-deficient osteoarthritic knee can aid in clinical and surgeon decision-making to restore knee function. This review will discuss current practice guidelines for the ACL-deficient knee with single-compartment osteoarthritis, including pathoanatomy, indications, contraindications, technical considerations, and clinical outcomes.

Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) is a highly effective treatment for the management of isolated osteoarthritis in the medial compartment. While favorable long-term survivorship is seen in most series, the long-term rate of revision after mUKAs remains higher than that for total knee arthroplasty. Poor indications and poor surgical technique are often responsible for mUKA failure. Understanding why these complications occur and how to avoid them will optimize clinical outcomes, reduce revision rates, and lead to lower healthcare costs. This review will discuss the five most common causes of mUKA failure including progression of arthritis, aseptic loosening, bearing dislocation, periprosthetic fracture, and polyethylene wear and how to avoid them with proper patient selection and meticulous surgical technique.

Historically, high tibial osteotomy (HTO) was considered a contraindication for medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). While some recent reports demonstrate good outcomes after UKA for failed HTO, revision to UKA after failed HTO remains controversial. UKA after HTO is a demanding procedure primarily related to preoperative valgus alignment, residual medial knee laxity and abnormal proximal tibia geometry. The aim of this technical note is to present surgical pearls and strategies to ensure a successful outcome of UKA after a failed HTO.

There is a paucity of data about clinical outcomes after double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (DB-ACLR) using the concepts of patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) and minimal clinically important difference (MCID). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the one-year clinical outcomes of patients who underwent DB-ACLR using PASS and MCID.
Methods
Achievement of PASS and MCID were retrospectively evaluated for 298 (mean age 26.9 years; 145 men/153 women) and 214 patients (mean age 23.9 years; 114 males/100 females), respectively, who underwent primary DB-ACLR using a hamstring autograft. For patients who achieved PASS or MCID, demographics, preoperative and postoperative data were statistically analyzed.
Results
Of 298 patients, 254 (85.2%) achieved International Knee Documentation Committee-Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF) PASS and 191 out of 214 patients (88.8%) achieved MCID. The dichotomous logistic regression analyses to assess the achievement of PASS showed that younger age (odds ratio [OR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93–0.99; P = 0.013), male sex (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.08–4.83; P = 0.030) and better one-year quadriceps strength symmetry (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.03–1.07; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of PASS achievement. For MCID, preoperative IKDC-SKF score below the 50th percentile (OR, 14.39; 95% CI, 2.90–71.25; P = 0.001) and better one-year quadriceps strength symmetry (OR, 1.035; 95% CI, 1.007–1.064; P = 0.014) were independent predictors for MCID achievement.
Conclusions
More than 85% of the patients achieved PASS and MCID for the IKDC-SKF score one year after undergoing DB-ACLR with hamstring tendon autograft. Better quadriceps strength symmetry at one year contributed to the achievement of both PASS and MCID. Rehabilitation dedicated to quadriceps strength recovery may be important for achieving good clinical outcomes after DB-ACLR.

Objectives
Demographic characteristics of the patient population influence patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) following patellar dislocations. The time from injury and number of dislocations can also vary within the patient population. The hypothesis of the study is that characteristics of the patient population influencing Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) measures of pain, function, and quality of life vary with time from patellar dislocation and number of dislocations.
Methods
Outcome scores were evaluated for subjects in four groups: within five months of a first patellar dislocation (first-time group, n = 24), within five months of a recurrent dislocation (multiple group, n = 15), five to twelve months after a first dislocation (post-acute group, n = 14), and two years or longer after a first dislocation (two-year group, n = 14). For each group, KOOS pain, physical function, and quality of life scores were compared between males and females. KOOS scores were also correlated against age, body mass index (BMI), and time since first and most recent dislocation.
Results
For the first-time dislocation group, physical function, and quality of life scores were higher for men than women (p < 0.05). For the multiple dislocation group, pain and physical function improved as BMI decreased (p < 0.025), while quality of life improved as age decreased (p = 0.014). For the post-acute group, all three scores improved as BMI decreased (p < 0.05). For the two-year group, all three scores worsened as time since first dislocation increased (p < 0.01).
Conclusions
Following patellar dislocation, relationships between characteristics of the patient population and PROMs vary with time from injury and number of dislocations. In the acute phase following a first dislocation, PROMs likely reflect the traumatic injury. Based on relationships with BMI, outcomes likely reflect functional capacity of the knee in the acute phase of multiple dislocations and post-acute phase of a first dislocation. After multiple years, progressive degradation of the knee over time seems to influence PROMs.
Level of evidence
Retrospective study with more than one negative criterion (Level 4).

Bilateral low-velocity multi-ligament knee Injury (MLKI) is a rare injury increasing in prevalence along with obesity. Early surgical intervention is indicated to improve long-term outcomes. We describe the surgical and postoperative management of a bilateral MLKI. The patient underwent staged multi-ligament knee reconstruction 17 and 35 days after injury. Return to light duty was achieved 4 weeks following each procedure and progression to exercise at 6 months. The patient is 2 years postoperative and returned to all activity without complaint. We describe successful surgical and rehabilitation management, which encourages early surgery and rehabilitation strategies to improve long-term outcomes.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has seen a revival of popularity in the last thirty years in the United States. The benefits of a medial UKA over the previous ‘gold standard’ for knee osteoarthritis, the total knee arthroplasty, include increased postoperative range of motion (ROM), maintenance of natural knee mechanics, faster recovery, similar pain relief and decreased morbidity. Mobile-bearing UKA (MB-UKA) implants have been developed to improve polyethylene wear while maintaining normal knee kinematics. In this review, we will cover indications and contraindications for aN MB-UKA, patient selection, and technical tips and tricks.

The increased participation of females in sports has been accompanied by an increase in the rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The literature has identified risk factors for noncontact ACL injuries in female athletes, including anatomic, hormonal, biomechanical, neuromuscular, and environmental factors. This review will provide an overview of sex-specific considerations when managing female athletes with ACL injuries. A discussion of sex-specific surgical and rehabilitative treatment strategies with the goal of optimizing return to sport after ACL reconstruction will be emphasized.
