Background: Bone cutting error can be one of the causes of malalignment in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The amount of cutting error in total knee arthroplasty has been reported. However, none have investigated cutting error in UKA. The purpose of this study was to reveal the amount of cutting error in UKA when open cutting guide was used and clarify whether cutting the tibia horizontally twice using the same cutting guide reduced the cutting errors in UKA.Methods: We measured the alignment of the tibial cutting guides, the first-cut cutting surfaces and the second cut cutting surfaces using the navigation system in 50 UKAs. Cutting error was defined as the angular difference between the cutting guide and cutting surface.Results: The mean absolute first-cut cutting error was 1.9 degrees (1.1 degrees varus) in the coronal plane and 1.1 degrees (0.6 degrees anterior slope) in the sagittal plane, whereas the mean absolute second-cut cutting error was 1.1 degrees (0.6 degrees varus) in the coronal plane and 1.1 degrees (0.4 degrees anterior slope) in the sagittal plane. Cutting the tibia horizontally twice reduced the cut ring errors in the coronal plane significantly (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that in UKA, cutting the tibia horizontally twice using the same cutting guide reduced cutting error in the coronal plane.
