The inclination of the tibial component has an impact on fracture stability in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: an artificial bone study
Slight varus inclination of the tibial component in UKA increases the medial tibial fracture load, potentially reducing the risk of PPF. Our findings highlight the biomechanical advantages of controlled varus positioning and provide insight into optimizing implant alignment.
