Computer-assisted unicompartmental knee replacement: Technique and results

Abstract

Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) has become increasingly popular after the development of minimally invasive techniques [1]. The question of adequate indications for UKR has been extensively debated, although a consensus has yet to be accepted in the literature. Furthermore, this procedure was previously considered as more demanding than total knee replacement (TKR), especially because the instrumentation was not as accurate as that for TKR.
