Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the standard of care for those patients who fail conservative management, but considering SONK\u2019s predilection for affecting a single knee compartment, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) appears to be a more tailored option. Unfortunately, conflicting data exist on the utility of UKA in SONK. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate functional outcomes and revision rates of UKA in the setting of SONK.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic literature search was performed to evaluate all studies examining patients who underwent UKA for SONK.

The final range of motion was 125\u00b0 (124\u2013126\u00b0). Standardized mean difference (SMD) of clinical improvement pre- and post-outcome was 3.39 ( p &lt; 0.001). The improvement in the visual analog score was 57.03 points, with an SMD of 4.57 ( p &lt; 0.001).
