Introduction

Isolated lateral compartment osteoarthritis (OA) occurs in 5–10% of knees with OA [1, 2]. Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (LUKA) emerged as a treatment to this disease in the early 80s but challenging surgical technique has limited the prevalence of this treatment option [1–3]. A robotic-arm assisted surgical technique (MAKO Surgical Corp.) has emerged as a way to achieve precise implant positioning which can potentially improve surgical outcomes.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate short term outcomes for patients that received LUKA using a novel robotic-arm assisted surgical technique.
