Take-Home Messages
5 Isolated lateral compartment knee osteoar-
thritis occurs in 5–10% of individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
5 Varus stress and exed posteroanterior radio-
graphs are critical to identifying patients with isolated lateral compartment arthritis.
5 Lateral parapatellar approach limits incision
size, but care must be taken to preserve the inferior fat pad with thin lateral retinacular tissue to provide adequate closure.
5 Care must be taken during the vertical tibial
saw cut to ensure proper rotation and limit any violation of the posterior cortex.
5 The normal knee kinematics and exion/
extension ligamentous laxity should be taken into consideration when balancing the knee. The lateral compartment has greater laxity in exion than extension and should be repro­duced when performing lateral UKA.
5 Cementation techniques include drilling holes
to increase surface area, limiting posterior extrusion of the cement, and using a 90-degree Woodson curette to remove any additional cement.
5 Lateral UKA has excellent results and early
survivorship with proper patient selection, implant selection, and proper surgical tech­nique.

16.1 Introduction
Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) represents a minority, around 10% (Scott 2005), of all UKA performed for osteoarthritis (OA) (Parratte etal.
2015; Berend etal. 2015). Lateral UKA is a challenging
surgical procedure, more than medial UKA due to its rarity (low incidence of genu valgum in the population (Ranawat etal. 2005; Rossi etal. 2014) and better toler­ance in the long term of lateral compartment osteoar­thritis), to the specicity of the indications, and the characteristics of the lateral knee compartment (anat­omy and kinematics).
The surgical procedure is performed through a lat­eral parapatellar approach. An orthogonal tibial cut to the mechanical axis is performed which has to be as minimal as possible. The lateral tibial slope is less important than in the medial compartment and should be reproduced. The sagittal tibial cut is realized close to the tibial spines and in the internal rotation due to the constitutional external rotation of the lateral tibial pla­teau (screw-home mechanism). The distal femoral cut should be as conservative as possible allowing to “dis­talize” the femoral implant and compensate for the con­genital hypoplasia and the wear. In genu valgum, OA affects preferentially the posterior part of the femoral condyle explaining why there may be intact cartilage on the distal part of the condyle which has to be removed before positioning the distal femoral cutting guide. Due to the divergence of the lateral condyle, it is crucial to avoid excessive internal rotation in exion, which will create an impingement in extension with the tibial spines.
The tibial implant should be close to the tibial spines with 15°–20° of internal rotation. The femoral implant is placed on a exed knee with external rotation and as lateral as possible, sometimes it may rest on lateral con­dyle osteophytes.
Clinical and radiological results of lateral UKA are similar to medial UKA with 90% survival at medium term and 80% at long term. The main cause of failure for lateral UKA is OA progression (87.5%), especially in the medial compartment, followed by aseptic loosening (12.5%).
16.2 Case Example
A 64-year-old woman suffered from isolated lateral knee pain for 2years. The clinical examination found a valgus morphotype completely reducible with no sagittal laxity, no stiffness, and no medial tibiofemoral or patellofemo­ral pain. Standard radiographic investigations (. Fig.16.1) showed isolated joint space narrowing of the lateral tibiofemoral joint with condensation of the

showing complete joint space loss (stage 3 of Ahlback’s classication) indicating that cartilage wear is predomi­nately posterior. Complete X-ray investigations were realized with varus/valgus stress and leg-length views
Fig.16.3). They conrmed the complete reducibility
(. of the knee (varus stress), no medial collateral ligament laxity (valgus stress), and quantied the importance of the valgus deformity and the origin of the deformation (leg-length view): valgus deformation of 10° (HKA angle = 190°) with hypoplasia of the lateral condyle (mechanical femoral angle=98°) (Moreland etal. 1987).
A lateral UKA was performed (. Fig.16.4). Varus
femoral osteotomy was not recommended for this case because of the advanced OA stage. A UKA was pre­ferred over TKA because the pain was limited to lateral knee compartment with preserved medial and patello-

femoral joint spaces. A tibial implant was positioned as close as possible to the tibial spines with internal rota­tion. The femoral implant was positioned very lateral and vertical to have optimal contact with the tibial implant during all range of motion and avoid any impingement with the patella and the tibial spines. Attention should be paid to avoid any overhanging and altering of the tibial slope.
16.3 Anatomy
Asymmetries between the medial and the lateral tibio­femoral spaces are explained by their proper anatomical characteristics (Miyatake etal. 2016).
The lateral tibial plateau has four characteristics
(Weinberg etal. 2017):
5 The cartilage surface is convex. 5 The articular surface is smaller than the medial tibial
plateau (anteroposterior and mediolateral axis).

5 The anteroposterior axis has an internal rotational
axis of 10–15°.
5 The posterior tibial slope is reduced on the lateral
side compared to the medial side (4° vs. 7°) (Karimi
etal. 2017).
Regarding the lateral femoral condyle, it is mostly hypoplastic in genu valgum with a divergent axis from the anteromedial to the posterolateral side.
The congruency between the femoral condyle and the tibial plateau is closely related to the lateral menis­cus: its shape and its mobility. In the case of prior lateral meniscectomy, the stability of the lateral compartment is altered leading to degenerative tears explaining the high rate of lateral OA in young patients after meniscec­tomy (Longo etal. 2019).
All these anatomical characteristics of the lateral tib­iofemoral compartment will impact the surgical tech­nique, implant positioning, and the choice of prosthesis (Demange etal. 2015; Greco etal. 2019).
> While in the medial compartment, the cartilage wear
is preferentially developing in the anterior part of the
joint, in the lateral compartment, OA starts in the
posterior part of the joint (Gulati etal. 2009).
This is particularly important and will inuence the radiological investigations, especially with the Rosen­berg posteroanterior view required to see the posterior wear and appreciate the stage of OA.
16.4 Indications andPreoperative
Investigations
Indications and Contraindications of Lateral UKA
Indications:
5 Primary lateral OA secondary to a constitutional
genu valgum
5 Avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral condyle or
tibial plateau
5 Post-traumatic OA secondary to tibial plateau
fracture or a femoral condyle fracture
5 Post-meniscectomy OA
Contraindications:
5 OA in other compartments are as follows:
– Medial tibiofemoral compartment – Patellofemoral compartment (especially on the
lateral facet)
5 Chronic anterior laxity 5 Medial or lateral laxity due to collateral ligament
insufciency
5 Valgus deformity >15° or non-reducible valgus
deformity (Kozinn and Scott
5 Preoperative exion contracture >15° 5 Stiffness with exion limited to 100° 5 Previous history of distal femoral osteotomy or
high tibial osteotomy
5 Inammatory disease
The clinical exam has to demonstrate concordan­ceregarding the location of the pain which has to be lim­ited to the lateral compartment and eliminate other contraindications. Testing of the collateral ligaments and the cruciate ligament is crucial to estimate their integrity. Conrmation with radiographic stress exams varus/valgus and anteroposterior plane may be helpful. The ACL evaluation may be difcult to interpret due to the pain and the effusion.
The standard preoperative radiological investiga­tions will conrm the localization in the lateral compart­ment of the OA, without medial tibiofemoral or patellofemoral degeneration and can be graded accord­ing to Ahlback’s classication. The stress X-rays in varus/valgus will evaluate the reducibility of the defor­mity and the thickness of the cartilage in the contralat­eral compartment. The full leg-length X-rays are necessary to appreciate the global deformity of the lower limbs and analyze the origin of the valgus deformity.

5 OA after lateral meniscectomy (Pengas etal. 2017) 5 Avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral condyle or

5 Valgus secondary to a hip pathology (Barrios etal.
2016)
5 Congenital tibial deformity (van Lieshout et al.
2019)
2012)
Hypoplasia of the lateral femoral condyle is the most frequent cause of valgus deformity (Rossi etal. 2014). In this case, the position of the femoral component has to be adapted to the severity of the dysplasia: distally and posteriorly to restore a normal intra-articular joint space in sagittal and coronal planes.
In cases of post-traumatic OA (Lustig et al. 2012), the challenge is not due to bone dysplasia but rather poor bone quality or a malunion which has to be antici­pated and addressed with one option being bone graft with screw xation. Although this indication is rare, lat­eral UKA is an efcient procedure with good results on knee pain and a good survival rate in the long term (Lustig etal. 2012).

> Appropriate understanding of this tibial external
rotation during extension explains why the femoral implant has to be placed as lateral as possible and the tibial implant has to be positioned in internal rotation to avoid any impingement with the tibial spines in extension.
16.6 Surgical Technique
Classically, a lateral parapatellar approach is preferen­tially used for this procedure even if some authors pub­lish on the possibility of performing it through a medial approach (Berend etal. 2012; Sah and Scott 2008).
The skin incision starts from the superior border of
the patella and nishes 2cm distally to the lateral border of the ATT (. Fig.16.5). After a lateral arthrotomy, an articular exploration conrms ACL integrity and con­rms the limitation of OA in the lateral compartment. Sometimes, to improve the exposure a lateral vertical facet osteotomy of the patella is required.
> To maintain appropriate ligament tension, it is impor-
tant to respect the peripheral structures around the lateral tibial plateau (lateral collateral ligament and

16.5 Kinematics ofaNative Knee
andAfterUKA
Kinematics of a native knee consists of external femoral rotation on the tibia during knee exion associated with posterior femoral roll-back, more important for the lat­eral condyle (10 mm) than for the medial condyle (2 mm). This is the concept of “medial pivot of the knee”: the medial compartment is the compartment of knee stability, while the lateral compartment is the com­partment of mobility (Argenson etal. 2002). The trans­lation of the medial femoral condyle seems to be correlated to ACL integrity (Du et al. 2018) while the mobility of the lateral condyle on the lateral tibial pla­teau seems to be independent of the osteoarthritis and ACL status. The femur will progressively pass from its neutral position at 0° of rotation in full extension to 7° of external rotation during exion. At the end of the extension, between 0° and 20° of exion, both cruciate ligaments exert tension on the tibia, putting it in exter­nal rotation and locking the knee. The tibia is then in the position of maximal stability with the femur. This mech­anism, called “the screw-home mechanism” is the key to knee stability in terminal extension (Kim etal. 2015).

coronal alignment (Ollivier etal. 2014).
To avoid any impingement with ACL, osteophytes of the intercondylar notch are removed while osteophytes of the lateral condyle are initially preserved. They will be useful for helping the positioning of the femoral implant (Argenson et al. 2008). The anterior contact point in extension between femur and tibia has to be noticed and will be a landmark for implant positioning (size and orientation).
16.6.1 Tibial Cut
With an extra-medullary guide, an orthogonal tibial cut to the mechanical axis is performed which has to be as minimal as possible (Scott 2005) (. Figs.16.6, 16.7 and
. Fig. 16.7 Tibial cut with an extra-medullary guide. Preview of
the cut with the palpator
16.8). An economic bone resection will insure a bigger
bone surface area for the component and a better corti­cal support.
In the lateral compartment, the tibial slope is less important than in the medial compartment (Weinberg etal. 2017), and should be reproduced with the prosthe­sis to avoid any exion laxity or stiffness (Lustig etal.
2014; Randall etal. 2019). An excessive posterior tibial
slope will increase the anterior tibial translation and the tension on the ACL (Dejour and Bonnin
1994).
The sagittal tibial cut is realized close to the tibial spines and will determine the rotation of the tibial implant. The two landmarks of this anteroposterior cut are as follows:
5 In extension: the medial point of the anterior lateral
tibial plateau, in front of ACL insertion.
5 In exion: the medial point of the lateral tibial pla-
teau, behind the ACL insertion.
Due to the constitutional external rotation of the lateral tibial plateau (screw-home mechanism (Kim etal. 2015)), this line will cross the patellar ligament which has to be carefully retracted to perform the bone cut (.
Fig.16.9).
