TL;DR
Tricompartmental knee replacement was a safe and effective procedure for the patients reported in these studies and the knee pathology and the type of prosthesis were significant predictors of outcomes.
Abstract
Tricompartmental knee replacement was a safe and effective procedure for the patients reported in these studies. The knee pathology and the type of prosthesis were significant predictors of outcomes. Limitations in the reporting style of these articles severely constrain the ability to explore variation in outcomes due to study, patient, or prosthesis characteristics and restrict their generalizability.
