Abstract

Abstract:

With an aging population, the number of patients with knee osteoarthritis is increasing. Following the improvement of surgical techniques and the optimisation in prosthesis design, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has become the mainstream option in the treatment of medial compartment lesions of knee joint. Previous studies have shown that lower limb alignment after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has a significant impact on the postoperative progression of lateral compartment of the knee, the lifetime of prosthesis, functional movement of knee and comfort of the patient. Therefore, research has emerged on the factors that affect the lower limb alignment and the best alignment after surgery, yet it has been found that only a few literatures systematically summarise and review the research progress in lower limb alignment after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Key words: Knee, Arthroplasty, Extremities
