"Unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKA) or replacements (UKR) are orthopaedic procedures where either the medial or lateral articular surfaces of the knee are replaced by prostheses ¹. This differs from patellofemoral arthroplasties, which replace the patellar and trochlear groove articular surfaces. Globally, UKAs make up ~7.5% (range 5.2–9.8%) of arthroplasties performed with medial replacements the vast majority (~97%) ^1,2."

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"In the modern-day, with the development of ultra-high molecular weight polythene, UKA has been successfully used in appropriately selected patients ⁵. With the advent of robotic surgery, proponents of this technique have argued that it further exemplifies the benefits of this minimally invasive, bone, ligament and soft tissue-sparing procedure ⁶."

Line 4:312 · Use the Oxford comma in 'bone, ligament and soft'.

"The design of the UKA consists of a femoral component, a tibial component and a meniscal bearing spacer. The different choices of the design available include the bearing design, cementing and material:"

Semicolons

suggestion

"mixed: typically cemented tibial prosthesis and cementless femoral prosthesis; no long-term data ¹¹"
