TOPIC: RANDOM MIX
In unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) indicated for medial compartment osteoarthritis, overcorrecting the mechanical axis into excessive valgus is a critical technical error. What is the primary catastrophic consequence of this specific overcorrection?
A
Severe anterior knee pain due to catastrophic patellar maltracking
B
Spontaneous, attritional rupture of the medial collateral ligament
C
Accelerated degeneration and rapid failure of the unresurfaced lateral compartment
D
Immediate, acute aseptic loosening of the cemented tibial component
