Abstract
This study presents a surgical technique for kinematically aligned medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with the MOTO (Medacta Corporate, Switzerland) partial knee implant. This technique aims to replicate the native medial femoral and tibial morphology by providing caliper-verified bone resections and kinematic alignment principles. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the surgical steps and discusses the implications for implant longevity.
