Abstract Background In 1989, Kozinn and Scott introduced strict exclusion criteria for
unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Because outcomes have improved with modern …

Introduction On rare occasions, fractures of the tibial plateau may occur after uni-
compartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and account for 2% of total UKA failures. The …

Background FDA approval for the Oxford phase III device was approved for use in the United
States in 2004. This study seeks to provide the first long-term, large patient sample size …

Purpose Concerns exist regarding prosthetic positioning and post-operative limb alignment
in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). In this study, we hypothesized deviations of …

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a less invasive treatment for medial
gonarthrosis. However, registry data have demonstrated higher revision and early failure …

With increased precision in alignment offered by new generations of instrumentation and
customized guides, this study was designed to establish a biomechanically-based target …

Introduction Biomechanical studies have suggested that proximal tibial strain is elevated in
UKAs incorporating all-polyethylene tibial components with concern that this leads to …

Background Several recent studies have recommended offering unicompartmental knee
arthroplasty (UKA) to all patients regardless of body mass index (BMI). The aim of this …

As many as 25% to 40% of unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) revisions are
performed for pain, a possible cause of which is proximal tibial strain. The aim of this study …

Objectives Elevated proximal tibial bone strain may cause unexplained pain, an important
cause of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) revision. This study investigates the …
