Similar rates of return to sports and BMI reduction regardless of age, gender and preoperative BMI as seen in matched cohort of hypoallergenic and standard Cobalt Chromium medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
ConclusionsBoth TiNbN and CoCr medial mobile-bearing UKA enabled patients to return to sports after the final follow-up, regardless of age, BMI, gender and metal sensitivity. These findings inform shared decision making and can help to manage patient expectations after surgery, in particular, in active patients with an overt metal allergy, a specific hypoallergenic implant should be considered the gold standard implant in partial knee replacement surgery.Level of evidenceCohort Study, Level III.Registration: researchregistry6250 —www.researchregistry.com.
