description <h4>Aims</h4> <p>An evidence based radiographic Decision Aid for meniscal-bearing unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) has been developed and this study investigates its performance at an independent centre.</p> <h4>Patients and Methods</h4> <p>Pre-operative radiographs, including stress views, from a consecutive cohort of 550 knees undergoing replacement (UKR or TKR) by a single-surgeon were assessed. Suitability for UKR was determined using the Decision Aid with the assessor blinded to treatment received.</p> <h4>Results</h4> <p>The sensitivity and specificity of the Decision Aid was 92% and 88% respectively. Excluding knees where a clear pre-operative plan was made to perform TKR, i.e. patient request, the sensitivity was 93% and specificity 96%. The false-positive rate was low (2.3%) with all readily identifiable during joint inspection at surgery.</p> <br/> <p>In patients meeting Decision Aid criteria and receiving UKR the 5-year survival was 99% (95%CI 97 to 100%). The false-negatives (3.3%), who received UKR, but did not meet criteria, had significantly worse functional outcomes (flexion (p&lt;0.001), AKSS-Functional (p&lt;0.001), UCLA (p=0.04)), and lower implant survival 93.1% (95%CI 77.6 – 100%).</p> <h4>Conclusion</h4> <p>The radiographic Decision Aid safely and reliably identifies appropriate patients for meniscal-bearing UKR and achieves good results in this population. The widespread use of the Decision Aid should improve the results of UKR.</p>
