Abstract
A total of 185 patients underwent unicompartmental knee replacements (UKR) in 206 knees over a period of 5 years. This is a retrospective look at the early results and a comment on the complications seen within the first year in these patients. Patient selection and technical error were responsible for the bulk of the complications seen within the first year post-operatively.
