Abstract
Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is an attractive technique for managing unicompartmental arthritis of the knee since it allows quicker recovery and has lower complications rates than total knee replacement (TKR). However, questions remain over the long-term functional results and long-term survival. Whilst there are indubitably advantages of UKR over TKR, the gains are unfortunately off set by the risk of disease progression and pain from the other compartments of the joint (1, 2) Th ere is also a risk of long-term deterioration from wear of the tibial polyethylene (PE) insert.
