0016 - DO UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE REPLACEMENTS ENABLE A SUPERIOR FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE? A SINGLE BLINDED, CONTROLLED GAIT ANALYSIS AT FAST WALKING SPEEDS AND STEEP SLOPES

Retrospective comparative studies have demonstrated superior gait in unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) over total knee replacement (TKR) patients despite selection bias being a limitation to these claims. The null hypothesis was that patients with similar preoperative radiological disease seve...

Description
Summary:Retrospective comparative studies have demonstrated superior gait in unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) over total knee replacement (TKR) patients despite selection bias being a limitation to these claims. The null hypothesis was that patients with similar preoperative radiological disease severity with well positioned knee replacements of differing types (UKR & TKR) would demonstrate no functional gait advantage.
