Abstract: It is assumed that unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) features kinematics close to the natural knee. Clinical studies have also shown functional benefits for UKA. There is to date only little biomechanical data to support or explain these findings. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether UKA is able to preserve natural knee kinematics or not.<br />JOURNAL ARTICLE<br />SCOPUS: ar.j<br />info:eu-repo/semantics/published
