3. *Less blood loss*: Reduced risk of blood transfusions
4. *Preservation of bone and ligaments*: More natural knee anatomy is maintained
5. *Improved range of motion*: More natural knee movement and flexion
6. *Reduced risk of complications*: Lower risk of patellar complications and implant wear
7. *More natural feeling*: UKR can provide a more natural feeling knee compared to total knee replacement
8. *Less risk of infection*: Smaller incision reduces the risk of infection
9. *Improved knee function*: UKR can improve knee function and stability
10. *Cost-effective*: UKR can be more cost-effective compared to total knee replacement
11. *Less risk of implant failure*: UKR has a lower risk of implant failure compared to total knee replacement
12. *Improved patient satisfaction*: UKR can lead to high patient satisfaction rates
UKR is a suitable option for patients with:
- Medial compartment osteoarthritis
- Limited knee damage
