Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty with a Fixed Bearing Implant [PDF]
JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques, 2019 Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an alternative to total knee arthroplasty in isolated medial arthritis. UKA restores native tibial and femoral joint surfaces and corrects pre-disease limb alignment, by which natural knee biomechanics are restored, ensuring effective functional recovery.

In vivo kinematics of medial unicompartmental osteoarthritic knees during activities of daily living [PDF]
, 2014 Few studies exist describing unicompartmental osteoarthritic knee kinematics. Moreover, the role of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the determination of knee kinematics has not been fully described.

Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Annals of Joint, 2017 Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a surgical procedure even now discussed, but interest on it increased rapidly over the last three decades. Recently, the introduction of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques with modified surgical instruments reduced morbidity, complications and the hospital recovery time. Methods: From

High usage of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty negatively influences total knee arthroplasty revision rate [PDF]
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2021 AbstractPurposeSurgeons with higher medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) usage have lower UKA revision rates. However, an increase in UKA usage may cause a decrease of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) usage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of UKA usage on revision rates and patient‐reported outcomes (PROMs) of UKA ...

Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty with a Mobile-Bearing Implant
JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques, 2021 Background: For patients with isolated medial knee arthritis, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an appealing surgical option. Compared with total knee arthroplasty (TKA), UKA is less invasive, preserves more native bone stock, has lower perioperative morbidity and mortality 1,2
