About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is the principal surgical alternative to the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with end-stage unicompartmental tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The current comparative randomized study aims to evaluate the fixation of cemented and cementless designs of GMK-UNI unicompartmental knee prosthesis over a 5-year time period.
