Early failure with massive metallosis and posteromedial wear following atraumatic anterior cruciate ligament rupture after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Severe metallosis following medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is relatively rare. It is usually due to long-standing wear of the polyethylene component, resulting in frictional wear between the femoral and tibial metallic components ...

We aim to restore the kinematics of the knee in unicompartmental arthroplasty as it was being used by that individual before the arthrosis developed. The knee is used in compression when standing and squatting and in swing phase, where a competent anterior and posterior cruciate ligament complex allows efficient and congruent flexion after toe off ...
