Abstract
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a treatment option for anteromedial osteoarthritis. Compared with total knee arthroplasty (TKA), UKA offers improved knee range of motion, functional recovery and decreased medical complications. Revision rates continue to be higher with UKA compared with TKA. With current UKA implants, there is no significant difference in mobile bearing or fixed bearing, or between cemented and cementless implants. Enabling technology, such as robotic-assisted surgery, has demonstrated improvements in component positioning, but no long-term difference in survival compared with traditional manual instruments.
