Distinct impacts of fixed\u2010bearing (FB) and mobile\u2010bearing (MB) UKA on patellofemoral joint (PFJ) kinematics and soft tissue mechanics remain unclear. Our study aims to analyze effects of FB and MB UKA on PFJ kinematics and patellar tendon (PT) elongation and assess UKA's impact on UKA and contralateral side. A total of 24 patients (13 FB UKA, 11 MB UKA) were recruited, all with varying knee dysfunction. PFJ six\u2010degrees\u2010of\u2010freedom motion, patellar lever arm and PT elongation were assessed during functional maneuvers using dual fluoroscopic imaging and virtual ligament analysis. Differences between parameters were analyzed using paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010tests, while correlations between parameters and functional scores were assessed using Spearman correlation, with false discovery rate correction applied. We found that FB UKA resulted in a more distal and medial patellar position and increased flexion with posterior shift correlating with worse KSS scores (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). MB UKA showed greater patellar extension and better lateral patellar positioning and better KSS scores (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Patellar lever arm was longer after MB UKA during single\u2010leg lunge, whereas FB UKA differed during early sit\u2010to\u2010stand. Both groups experienced PT elongation on UKA side and correlated with OKS and FJS (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). In conclusion, FB UKA offers greater knee stability but may restrict rotation and increase patellofemoral stress, requiring focused rehabilitation on alignment and quadriceps function. MB UKA better restores natural kinematics, making it preferable for active patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.70017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,17]],"date-time":"2025-07-17T03:26:18Z","timestamp":1752722778000},"page":"1757-1766","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Mobile\u2010Bearing Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Enhances Patellofemoral Function and Preserves Contralateral Knee Health Versus Fixed\u2010Bearing"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8740-894X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tianyun","family":"Gu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biomedical Engineering &amp; Med\u2010X Research Institute Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biomedical Engineering &amp; Med\u2010X Research Institute Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center for Digital Medicine of the Ministry of Education Shanghai China"},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Orthopaedic Implants &amp; Clinical Translation R&amp;D Center of 3D Printing Technology, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunjie","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center for Digital Medicine of the Ministry of Education Shanghai China"},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Orthopaedic Implants &amp; Clinical Translation R&amp;D Center of 3D Printing Technology, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Shanghai China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diyang","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biomedical Engineering &amp; Med\u2010X Research Institute Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center for Digital Medicine of the Ministry of Education Shanghai China"},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Orthopaedic Implants &amp; Clinical Translation R&amp;D Center of 3D Printing Technology, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1522-2987","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsung\u2010Yuan","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biomedical Engineering &amp; Med\u2010X Research Institute Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center for Digital Medicine of the Ministry of Education Shanghai China"},{"name":"Shanghai Key Laboratory of Orthopaedic Implants &amp; Clinical Translation R&amp;D Center of 3D Printing Technology, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/2058-5241.3.170048"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arth.2008.06.025"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arth.2023.01.063"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"432","article-title":"Usage of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty","volume":"100","author":"Murray D.
