Abstract

Satisfactory alignments of components in total knee arthroplasty have been reported since the introduction of navigation systems. And thus, such techniques have been introduced for minimally invasive unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). Several intraoperative fractures of the tibial plateau have been reported in association with minimally invasive UKA and some stress fractures of tibial plateau associated with design of instrument have been reported. Here, we report on two cases of stress fracture of the tibial medial plateau after minimally invasive UKA was performed using a navigation system.
