There is controversial evidence about performing the UKA simultaneously with an ACL reconstruction. Biomechanical and clinical studies show that the benefits of restoring good joint stability outweigh the possible risks associated with performing both surgeries at the same time. With this strategy, it is possible to obtain good clinical results with a high survival rate of the implant and patient satisfaction.
