title: [The minimally invasive unicompartmental knee system "Preservation"First clinical results and analysis of complications].
abstract: The Preservation uni knee system is a minimally invasive procedure for implantation of a unicompartmental knee prosthesis. The early results show that the rehabilitation process is quick; the postoperative pain and blood loss is less than after conventional knee arthroplasty. Still there are some pitfalls. The implantation of the tibial mobile-bearing component requires a sound operative technique; otherwise complications will occur. The combination of the available navigation system with the Preservation uni will improve operative accuracy.
