Conclusions Although total reoperation rates did not differ in the two population s , reoperation for bearing dislocation was more likely to occur in Asian than in Western patients , whereas reoperation for lateral knee OA progression was more likely to occur in Western than in Asian patients after Oxford Phase III UKA .
Background Implant survivorship is reported to be lower and complications , particularly bearing dislocation , are reported to be more frequent in Asian than in Western patients with medial knee osteoarthritis ( OA ) undergoing Oxford ® Phase III unicompartmental knee arthroplasty ( UKA ) .
To date , however , these complications have not been compared between these groups of patients .
Questions / purpose s The purpose of this study was to perform a meta- analysis comparing the st and ardized incidence rates of ( 1 ) all-cause reoperation ; ( 2 ) reoperation related to bearing dislocation ; and ( 3 ) reoperation related to progression of lateral compartment arthritis in Asian and Western patients with medial knee OA who underwent Oxford Phase III UKA .
