Table 3 Studies that evaluated BCA vs. TKA
Author | Year | Type | Group 1, (n) | Group 2, (n) | Follow-up | Outcomes | Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Garner AJ [57] | 2022 | Retrospective cohort | Modular, single-stage, medial bicompartmental arthroplasty subjects, (16) | TKA, (20) | Mean months post-surgery (SD) 21 ± 18, 40.6 ± 43 Median months post-surgery (range) 12.5 (6–65), 19.5 (6–147) | Functional assessment | More near-natural gait and improved patient-reported outcomes |
Uluyardimci E [17] | 2019 | Retrospective cohort | Inlay PFA/UKA, (49) | TKA, (49) | 54 ± 4 and 54.4 ± 3.9 months | Functional and radiological assessment, complication rates, and length of hospital stay | Lower complication rates, shorter length of hospital stay, similar clinical and functional results |
Schrednitzki D [53] | 2020 | RCT | Fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, Inlay design PFJ, (40) | TKA, (40) | 5Â year | Functional assessment | Greater range of motion, no significant differences in clinical scores |
oh JKM [55] | 2020 | RCT | Unlinked, modular BCA, (26) | TKA, (22) | 10Â years | Functional and radiological assessment | Comparable to TKA |
Engh GA [45] | 2014 | RCT | BKA, (25) | TKA,(25) | 2Â years | Functional and radiological assessment | Equivalent results in clinical scores and functional testing |
Morrison TA [58] | 2011 | Prospective cohort | BKA, (21) | TKA, (33) | 2Â years | Functional assessment, complication rate | Higher BKA complication rate, TKA recommended |
Deng W [59] | 2023 | Retrospective cohort | BKA, (25) | TKA, (50) | minimum 2-year follow-up | Functional assessment | Better functional recovery, better joint perception, and higher RTS rate |
