Prediction of Wear in Crosslinked Polyethylene Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty
Wear-related complications remain a major issue after unicompartmental arthroplasty. We used a computational model to predict knee wear generated in vitro under diverse conditions.

Comparison of Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy versus Unicondylar Knee Replacement for Medial Knee Osteoarthritis [PDF]
Introduction: Medial knee osteoarthritis is a source of debilitating pain. Varus malalignment is associated with a 4-fold increase in unicompartmental osteoarthritis. Current non-surgical treatments include patient education, weight loss, analgesics. Two

A bounded iterative closest point method for minimally invasive registration of the femur [PDF]
This article describes a novel method for image-based, minimally invasive registration of the femur, for application to computer-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. The method is adapted from the well-known iterative closest point algorithm. By

Clinical Outcomes of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Comprehensive Review
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has gained significant attention in recent years as an important treatment option for isolated compartmental osteoarthritis of the knee, offering distinct advantages over Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).

Two cases of deliberate implant mismatch in knee arthroplasty
Cases: Knee arthroplasty is increasingly common with good clinical results. However, there is a cohort of patients whose native knee anatomy may not marry well with standard implants.

3D printing and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
In suitable patients, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) offers a number of advantages compared with total knee arthroplasty. However, the procedure is technically demanding, with a small tolerance for error.

Comparison of gait kinetics in total and unicondylar knee replacement surgery [PDF]
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare kinetical data from gait analysis of patients who have undergone total and uni-condylar knee replacement.Materials and methods: Thirteen patients with unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and 13 ...

Abstract Purpose Previous knee surgery is discussed as a risk factor for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet most reports do not distinguish between osteotomy and osteosynthesis. The German Operationen‐ und Prozedurenschlüssel (OPS)‐based classification was used to compare the impact of these procedures on implant survival, mortality and complications ...
