There is controversy about optimal limb alignment following knee replacement. An aim of using Oxford medial unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) implants is to accurately restore normal ligament tension in the knee, thereby restoring normal kinematics. This return to normal tension typically results in a return to prearthritic alignment, which is frequently varus. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between postoperative limb alignment and postoperative patient-reported outcome and implant revision rate.
