Combining the advantages of single-use patient-specific instrumentation and custom implants led to the development of a unique UKA implant system. Custom UKA would offer clinician the opportunity to accurately restore each patient’s femoral and tibial morphology while providing additive material to compensate for cartilage loss. Using this particular technique, better restoration of the natural knee kinematic is achieved through personalization of the implants. Copyright 2020, The Author(s). DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-24243-5_19
