Unicondylar arthroplasty and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, a comprehensive solution for medial osteoarthritis with ACL deficiency: Case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceMedial unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) combined with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction offers a novel approach for patients with advanced medial compartment osteoarthritis and ACL deficiency. This combined procedure addresses both joint degeneration and instability, enhancing outcomes while preserving native tissue. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old male with progressive pain and instability in the left knee, and a history of ACL reconstruction performed 10 years prior, underwent a medial UKA and revision ACL reconstruction using a transtibial technique with hamstring grafts. Postoperative evaluation demonstrated restored stability, proper implant positioning, and significant pain relief. DISCUSSION: The integration of UKA and ACL reconstruction addresses the limitations traditionally associated with ACL deficiency in UKA candidates, such as instability and increased implant stress. This approach provides a tailored solution, particularly for younger or active patients with isolated medial osteoarthritis, by preserving native joint kinematics while ensuring long-term implant durability.
conclusionThis case demonstrates that combining UKA with ACL reconstruction is a viable and effective treatment strategy for selected patients, achieving pain relief, stability, and functional recovery. It underscores the importance of careful surgical planning and patient selection to optimize outcomes.
