Improved implant alignment accuracy with an accelerometer-based portable navigation system in medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

ConclusionThe portable navigation system improved the accuracy of tibial implant alignment in UKA. We found that 100% of the implants were aligned within 3.0 ° of both target coronal and sagittal implant alignment. The portable navigation system decreased the outliers of tibial coronal and sagittal alignment.Level of evidenceRetrospective case –control study, Level III.
