BACKGROUND: Change in leg length and leg-length discrepancy (LLD) are common concerns among patients undergoing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). This study aimed to quantify the magnitude of leg-length change, prevalence of postoperative LLD, and their clinical implications following medial UKA.
METHODS: Leg length and mechanical hip-knee-ankle angle (mHKA) were retrospectively measured in 332 patients following unilateral robotic-arm assisted medial UKA for medial compartment osteoarthritis, using calibrated long-leg radiographs. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Otcome Score for Joint Replacement and patient satisfaction were analyzed to assess impact of leg-length change and LLD on outcomes.
RESULTS: Following medial UKA, median leg-length change was 2.0 mm (interquartile range, -1.0 to 5.0 mm; P < .001) with a mean correction in mHKA of 4.4° ± 2.7 (P < .001). A total of 158 patients (48%) had a leg-length increase by 0 to 5 mm, 64 (19%) by 6 to 10 mm, and 11 (3%) by >10 mm. Leg-length change was positively correlated with mHKA correction (R = 0.44, P < .001). Postoperatively, moderate (5 to 10 mm) and substantial LLD (≥10 mm) were present in 49% and 17% of patients, respectively. Four-year Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement were comparable between patients with and without substantial postoperative LLD (P = .976). Proportions of satisfied patients were similar between groups (P = .687).
CONCLUSION: Following medial UKA, the majority of patients had a moderate increase in leg length, the magnitude of which was positively correlated to the correction in mechanical alignment. Postoperative substantial LLD was not uncommon (17% prevalence); however, it had no significant impact on patient-reported outcomes or satisfaction at 4 years follow-up.
