Long-term results of per-operative knee arthroscopy in confirming suitability for unicompartmental arthroplasty

Patient selection is key to the success of medial unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). Progression of arthritis is the most common indication for revision surgery. Per-operative arthroscopy is a means of directly assessing the integrity of the lateral compartment. The aim of the study is to assess the long-term survivorship of UKA performed when per-operative arthroscopy is used as a final means of deciding whether to proceed with UKA.
