Core Tip
Core Tip: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) revision risks vary based on factors such as lateral vs medial approach, total knee arthroplasty conversion, and implant type. Uncemented Oxford UKA, bone preservation, and appropriate surgical techniques contribute to lower revision rates. Obesity increases the risk of revision following total knee arthroplasty, particularly in the short term.
