There seems to be a growing consensus among orthopaedic surgeons that implants that retain the anterior cruciate ligament and preserve more of the articular geometry provide distinct advantages of superior proprioception, kinematics, and a more rapid recovery over tricompartmental knee replacement. Despite these benefits, isolated unicompartmental disease is rare. As with any surgery performed less frequently, the learning curve can be an issue, and literature has cited instances where more technically demanding UKA systems may have a higher failure rate.
