Abstract

Satisfactory results of unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) have been reported since minimally invasive UKA had been introduced. However, several stress fractures of the tibial plateau, related to instrumentation design, have been reported. We report two cases of periprosthetic stress fractures of the tibial plateau after navigation-assisted unicondylar knee arthroplasties.
