Minimally invasive unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has been increasingly popular for the past few years. Several short- and medium-term published reports have shown it to be as efficacious as open unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, with reduced morbidity. However, complications specifically related to the minimally invasive techniques are not well documented. We report 2 cases of stress fracture of the medial tibial plateau after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with minimally invasive instrumentation. Awareness of this as a possible complication, with increased care in surgical technique, will help to avoid this problem.
在过去几年中，微创单髁膝关节置换术越来越受欢迎。一些已发表的短期和中期报告显示，它与开放式单髁膝关节置换术效果相同，但发病率更低。然而，与微创技术具体相关的并发症尚无充分记录。我们报告了2例采用微创器械进行单髁膝关节置换术后发生胫骨内侧平台应力性骨折的病例。认识到这是一种可能的并发症，并在手术技术上多加小心，将有助于避免这个问题。
