Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent condition frequently necessitating knee replacement surgery, with demand projected to rise substantially. Partial knee arthroplasty (PKA) offers advantages over total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet its utilisation remains low despite guidance recommending consideration alongside TKA in shared decision making. Radiographic decision aids exist but are underutilised due to clinician time constraints.
