The learning curve for minimally invasive Oxford phase 3 unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: cumulative summation test for learning curve (LC-CUSUM)

In this article, we can appreciate that the minimally invasive Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is a demanding procedure but has many advantages compared with total knee arthroplasty. "The aim of this observational study was to investigate the learning curve of one experienced surgeon introducing minimally invasive Oxford phase 3 UKA into his routine clinical practice."
Talking about surgery, it is necessary to improve different ways of approaching the problem in order to achieve a better quality of surgery, surgeons and patients.
