Abstract
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is becoming an increasingly more main stream option for arthritis management, but attaining durable outcomes is dependent on precise implantation of the components, accurate component and limb alignment, sound prosthesis design, and acceptable indications. Compared to conventional cutting guides, semi-autonomous robotic technologies have improved the precision of bone preparation and component alignment in UKA, enabling successful early functional results and with the expectation that they will enhance implant durability.
