    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    INFORMATION RECEIVED BASED ON REVIEW OF A JOURNAL ARTICLE, ENTITLED "EARLY COMPARATIVE OUTCOMES OF UNICOMPARTMENTAL AND TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY IN SEVERELY OBESE PATIENTS" ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: MEDIAL UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY (UKA) MAY HAVE ADVANTAGES OVER TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY (TKA) IN THE SETTING OF OBESITY. THERE HAS BEEN NO DIRECT COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TWO COHORTS. THIS STUDY COMPARES OUTCOMES AND COMPLICATIONS OF SEVERELY OBESE PATIENTS UNDERGOING MEDIAL UKA VERSUS TKA. METHODS: SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEDIAL UKA AND 1300 TKA WERE PERFORMED IN PATIENTS WITH BMI N35 KG/M2 (MEAN 41 KG/M2) BETWEEN 2007 AND 2012. PRE- AND POSTOPERATIVE ROM, KNEE SOCIETY SCORES, PERIOPERATIVE FACTORS, COMPLICATIONS AND REOPERATIONS WERE COMPARED. RESULTS: (B)(4). FREQUENCY OF DEEP INFECTION WAS LOWER IN THE UKA GROUP (P = 0.016). POSTOPERATIVE KSF, CHANGE IN KSF, AND ROM WERE HIGHER (P B 0.0001) AFTER UKA, BUT KSP AND KSC WERE EQUIVALENT. CONCLUSIONS: SEVERELY OBESE PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT MEDIAL UKA DEMONSTRATED EQUAL SURVIVORSHIP WITH SUBSTANTIALLY FEWER REOPERATIONS, REDUCED DEEP INFECTION, AND LESS PERIOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS AT SHORT TERM FOLLOW-UP. SEVERELY OBESE PATIENTS HAD IMPROVED KSF SCORES AND MAINTENANCE OF ROM AFTER UKA COMPARED WITH TKA THIS COMPLAINT REFERS TO ARTHROSCOPIC LYSIS OF ADHESIONS FOLLOWING A UKA ARTHROPLASTY PROCEDURE STATED ON PAGE 163.
