Early Outcome of a Contemporary Unicondylar Knee System
As new implants and technologies are introduced, documenting the early outcome from high volume centers can offer valuable insights to validate the effectiveness of implant systems before they are adopted by the broader orthopedic community. This study demonstrates encouraging early outcome data associated with a contemporary UKA system based on survivorship and PROMs. At this early stage, there are no implant-related concerns but obtaining additional follow-up will be important to quantify how revisions and PROMs evolve over time.
