Fractures in Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty are associated with a decreased medial keel-cortex distance of the tibial implant
In UKA, type Oxford TPF are linked to shorter mediolateral and posteroanterior keel-cortex distances, increased pre- and postoperative PTS, and small implant sizes (AA). Fracture lines often extend from the distal keel to the medial tibial cortex. These findings emphasize the importance of precise implant positioning and sizing to minimize fracture risk. Level of evidence Retrospective single-center study, III.
