Custom Lateral UKA

Fig. 3: Geometric differences between medial
and lateral tibial plateau. Note the more curved
medial condyle.
Fig. 4: Different geometries of medial and lateral tibial
plateau. The medial tibial condyle is tear-drop shaped
and the lateral tibial plateau more round.
Fig. 5: It is recommended to internally rotate a OTS lateral UKA 10-20 degrees, which may require to cut
through the patella tendon [8] as seen on the left. A custom lateral UKA is designed to cover the entire
lateral tibial plateau and does not require to make the L-cut through the patella tendon.
