[Rotational Knee Joint Kinematics before and after Unicompartmental Medial Arthroplasty, Comparison with a Healthy Knee Joint].

CONCLUSIONS The arthritic process affecting the knee joint results in altered kinematics and biomechanics of the affected knee joint. This is manifested at both the axial and sagittal plane, when the kinematics fails to equal that of the healthy joint. The implantation of the medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty improves the kinematics of the knee joint and helps achieve the requested values and stabilises the knee joint. Key words:medial gonarthrosis, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, knee joint kinematics. PMID: 30843511 [PubMed - in process]
