Does undersizing of the tibial component in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty increase the risk of fracture? A biomechanical study
Objectives and questions: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a common treatment for medial osteoarthritis, providing faster recovery and better joint kinematics than total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, periprosthetic tibial plateau fractures (TPF) remain a significant complication. Undersized [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
