Abstract
AbstractPurposeTo compare patient‐reported pain scores and assess the influence of neuropathy and co‐morbidity, on knee pain following cemented and cementless medial unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) 5 years after surgery.MethodIn this longitudinal study, 262 cemented and 262 cementless Oxford UKR performed for the same indications and with the same techniques were recruited. Patients were reviewed at five years, evaluating patient‐reported pain and association with clinical outcomes. Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain (ICOAP), PainDETECT (PD), Charnley score, Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and American Knee Society Score (AKSS) were compared.ResultsIn both cohorts, intermittent pain was more common than constant pain (47% vs 21%). Cementless knees reported significantly less pain than cemented (ICOAP‐Total 5/100 vs 11/100, p < 0.0001). A greater proportion of cementless knees experienced no pain at all (ICOAP = 0/100, 61% vs 43%, p < 0.0001) and 75% fewer experienced severe or extreme pain. Pain sub‐scores in PD, OKS and AKSS follow this trend. Pain was unlikely to be neuropathic (PD positive: 5.26%), but patients reporting high levels of ‘strongest’ pain were three times more likely to be neuropathic. Patients with co‐morbidities (Charnley C) experienced greater pain than those without (Charnley A+B) across all knee‐specific scores, despite scores being knee specific.ConclusionBoth cemented and cementless UKR in this study had substantially less pain than that reported in literature following TKR. Cementless UKR had significantly less pain than cemented UKR in all scores. Two‐thirds of patients with a cementless UKR had no pain at all at 5 years, and pain experienced was most likely to be mild and intermittent with no patients in severe or extreme pain. Patients with cementless UKR that had higher levels of pain were more likely to have co‐morbidity or evidence or neuropathic pain. It is unclear why cementless UKR have less pain than cemented; further study is necessary.
