Introduction

Recent studies have indicated that healthy and willing patients above 80 years have similar outcomes as younger patients following arthroplasty. We wished to investigate the outcomes in a cohort of patients above 80 years who underwent medial unicompartment knee replacement (UKA).

Material/methods

46 patients (51 knees) with UKA aged 80 or more formed the study group. For comparison rest of the UKA patients in the database were divided into groups according to their age. Patients were reviewed and KSS, complication rates and patient satisfaction information was collected. Revision for any cause was considered an endpoint. Significance was set at < 0.05.
