Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Minimal Invasive Surgery results in less postoperative pain and better mobilization than conventional technique in Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty, provided that both groups receive Local Infiltration Analgesia.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Minimal Invasive Surgery

After a 8-10 cm skin incision, a medial parapatellar capsule incision is made. The vastus medialis muscle or the rectus tendon are not incised, nor is the patella everted. The patella is merely pushed slightly aside when the bone cuts are made and the prostheses are cemented in place. Local Infiltration Analgesia is used.

PROCEDURE

Conventional exposure

After a 15-20 cm midline skin incision is made, a medial parapatellar capsule incision is made. The incision is carried up through the insertion of the vastus medialis and into the rectus tendon. The patella is everted. The bone cuts are made and the prostheses are cemented in place. Local Infiltration Analgesia is used.
