Aims The cemented Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (OUKA) features two variants: single and twin peg OUKA. The purpose of this study was to assess the stability of both variants in a worst-case scenario of bone defects and suboptimal cementation. Methods Single and twin pegs were implanted randomly allocated in 12 pairs of human fresh-frozen femora. We generated 5° bone defects at the posterior condyle. Relative movement was simulated using a servohydraulic pulser, and analyzed at 70°/115° knee flexion. Relative movement was surveyed at seven points of measurement on implant and bone, using an optic system. Results At the main fixation zone, the twin peg shows less relative movement at 70°/115°. At the transition zone, relative movements are smaller for the single peg for both angles. The single peg shows higher compression at 70° flexion, whereas the twin peg design shows higher compression at 115°. X-displacement is significantly higher for the single peg at 115°. Conclusion Bony defects should be avoided in OUKA. The twin peg shows high resilience against push-out force and should be preferred over the single peg.
