Higher survival rate in total knee arthroplasty after high tibial osteotomy than that after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

ConclusionsTKA after UKA or HTO showed a significantly higher risk of revision than primary TKA. While TKA after HTO showed lower risk of revision than TKA after UKA, no significant differences in complications between TKA after UKA and HTO were found. Thus, surgeons must be aware of the low survival rate in TKA after UKA or HTO, especially in TKA after UKA.Level of evidenceIII (Retrospective cohort study)
