Therefore, this paper aims to describe the MRI characteristics of end-stage AMOA in patients who meet current widely used indications for medial partial knee replacement. We will investigate the pattern of joint damage, including the state of the articular cartilage surfaces, and the anterior cruciate ligament.

This highlights the need for surgeons to understand anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) patterns on MRI. Hence, we aim to describe MRI findings in patients with AMOA meeting current indications for medial UKA.

2023年4月21日 · Total knee arthroplasty is one of the most successful surgeries in the management of advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. White et al. reported anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) as a distinct pattern of wear, characterized by isolated and complete loss of medial knee cartilage, without wear in the lateral or patellofemoral compartment.

2022年8月13日 · Isolated antero-medial osteoarthritis (AMOA) of the knee is a distinct pattern of arthritis. Medial arthritis of the knee in select patients can be managed with uni-compartmental arthroplasty (UKA), with studies showing shorter hospital stay, faster rehabilitation and reduced medical complications in the post-operative period compared to TKA.

2022年5月24日 · Treatment of end-stage anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) of the knee is commonly approached using one of two surgical strategies: medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

2022年5月1日 · Aims Treatment of end-stage anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) of the knee is commonly approached using one of two surgical strategies: medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) or...

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) are surgical options for AMOA patients who do not benefit from conservative treatment. We aimed to show an unusual treatment option where UKA and HTO are performed simultaneously.

The management of knee osteoarthritis (OA) continues to pose a substantial healthcare challenge, particularly given the lifetime susceptibility to developing symptomatic knee OA, which is estimated to exceed 40% in Western popula-tions [1]. Within the domain of …

This highlights the need for surgeons to understand anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) patterns on MRI. Hence, we aim to describe MRI findings in patients with AMOA meeting current indications for medial UKA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analysed MRI scans from 100 knees evaluated for UKA between 2006 and 2013.

2022年1月17日 · In contrast to TKA unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is performed in anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) and does not normally require releases. This raises the hypothesis whether the type of osteoarthritis (AMOA vs. posteromedial osteoarthritis (PMOA)) determines the requirement for soft tissue releases in TKA.
