Abstract

A unicompartmental prosthesis is indicated in unicompartmental arthritis. Patient selection and surgical technique are key factors for a successful outcome. In this chapter, we will detail the surgical technique for a medial UKA (Fig. 22.1). The surgical technique for a lateral UKA is comparable; therefore, we will only cover some specific points regarding a lateral UKA.
