Abstract
Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has been used as a good alternative for medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis due to its association with early rehabilitation and a low rate of intraoperative complications. This case describes a rare complication during the procedure of an intraoperative fracture of the medial condyle that was treated with osteosynthesis with 6.5 mm cannulated screws and a compression technique. The patient followed a non-weight-bearing protocol for 6 weeks and reached full range of motion at 3 months. Complete radiological fusion and good functional outcome were observed. Intraoperative fractures can benefit from stable osteosynthesis that allows free range of motion and does not jeopardise the final surgical result.
