The prevalence of unexpected positive cultures in patients following revision of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is lower than in patients who undergo a revision of total knee arthroplasty. In UKA patients a UPC does not seem to increase the risk of a re-intervention, so it can be safely ignored if ICM criteria are not met.
