In Vitro Kinematics Of Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty

It is assumed that unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) features kinematics closer to the natural knee than total knee arthroplasty [Laurencin, 1991]. Clinical studies have also shown functional benefits for UKA. There is to date only little biomechanical data to support or explain these findings. In this project, knee kinematics before and after medial UKA were analyzed and compared during an in vitro simulation with cadaveric specimens.status: publishe
