Primary outcomePrimary: Radiological Assessment of Component Positioning — 0.9; 1.8; 9.1; 8.8 Degrees — p=<0.05
Summary
Patient-specific instrumentation guides have previously been used to improving surgical accuracy and ease of implantation during Total Knee Replacement but have received less attention for implanting Unicompartmental Knee Replacement. The aim of this prospective study is to compare the accuracy of implantation and functional outcome of mobile bearing medial Unicompartmental Knee Replacement implanted with and without patient specific instrumentation by experienced knee surgeons.
