Its secondary purpose was to investigate the reasons underlying implant failure, with specific attention to component positioning and limb alignment. Between 2007 and 2013, 166 patients underwent medial UKA with a single design all-polyethylene tibial component at two centers. Preoperatively and postoperatively, patients were administered clinical outcome scores and radiographic information were collected. Postoperative complications and causes of revision were recorded. A total of 140 patients (80 in Center A and 60 in Center B) who underwent all-polyethylene tibial component medial UKA (82 cases in Center A and 60 in Center B) were taken into account. Kaplan\u2013Meier cumulative survivorship of implants was 96.5% (confidence interval [CI]: 91.7\u201398.6%) at an average follow-up of 61.1 months. Tibial aseptic loosening was accounted for failure in one case, while no correlation was found between implant positioning and failure. Two revisions were performed in Center A and three in Center B. Slight correction of the preoperative varus deformity was performed at both centers. All-polyethylene tibial component UKA provided satisfactory clinical and functional outcome, with excellent survival rate in the early and mid-term follow-up. Continued patient follow-up is needed to determine long-term survivorship of the examined UKA model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1710360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,25]],"date-time":"2020-05-25T23:07:39Z","timestamp":1590448059000},"page":"1454-1462","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["All-Polyethylene
