Despite the wide amount of literature about septic total knee arthroplasty management, few data are available for UKA infection treatment.

The main demographic and surgical data were recorded. Clinical scores (VAS, KSS, OKS, postoperative ROM), radiological parameters (osseointegration, loosening and radiolucencies) and complications were reported.

The mean ROM, VAS, KSS and OKS of the entire population improved significantly (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Radiological analysis did not show any migration or implant loosening. Ten constrained condylar and six posterior stabilized prosthesis were finally implanted. One intraoperative pathogen isolation was recorded and managed with suppressive therapy and good final outcome. The implant survivorship free from infection was 100% at the final follow-up.
