Resumen (ES)
Patients who have unicompartimental knee osteoarthritis
can be managed by different surgical techniques.
Young people are usually treated by tibial osteotomy and
elderly people by total knee replacement. Unicondylar knee
prosthesis is becoming an attractive recognized alternative.
After a period of enthusiastic regarding this technique, scepticism
took place based on the clinical results. The aim of this
study is to evaluate, in the first instance, a new knee unicondylar
knee prosthesis design (Alpine, IQL®) following clinical
criteria and quality of life. Thirteen patients, managed in
between June 2000 and March 2002, are reviewed. Seven
were males and six females. The mean age was 65 years
(range 55-77 years). Osteoarthritis was the aetiology in twelve
cases and necrosis of the medial condyle in one patient.
The clinical evaluation was based on quality of life through a
questionnaire SF-12. All patients improved a knee flexion of
110º and a complete extension. Only one patient had slight
pain and had some limitation.
