UKA: isolated compartment OA, intact ACL/collaterals, correctible deformity; faster recovery, more natural kinematics. TKA: multicompartment disease, inflammatory arthritis, significant deformity/instability; durable outcomes. UKA risks: OA progression, bearing dislocation (mobile), higher revision if selection poor. TKA risks: PF complications, stiffness; less normal kinematics. Choice individualized by age, activity, alignment, expectations.
