THE POTENTIAL UTILISATION OF PARTIAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY AND ASSESSMENT OF ACL STATUS IN END STAGE KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

Background: The interest in partial knee arthroplasty (PKA) and combined partial knee arthroplasty (CPKA) is increasing. This study aimed to determine the proportion of patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA) suitable for PKA/CPKA according to patterns of cartilage loss and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) status.
