Oxford phase 3 unicondylar knee arthroplasty through a minimally invasive approach: long-term results

“…Black arrow shows the polyethylene component in an anterior and superior position despite the fact that clinical outcomes are encouraging, it has been stated in the literature [6] that more than one third of the patients that have undergone a total knee replacement could have benefited from a unicompartmental replacement. In accordance with the previous studies [25,26], our longterm assessment confirms that overall good results may be achieved using a minimally invasive approach for the implantation of a mobile bearing unicompartmental prosthesis.…”

Sports, Physical Activity and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty in Young Patients
