    Eius Unicompartmental Knee System || Stryker Howmedica Osteonics Corp. || Howmedica International S. de R.L., Raheen Business Park, Limerick, Ireland. || Intended for use in Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA). Surgeon users have identified the following potential advantages of UKA procedures versus Total Knee Arthroplasty procedures generally: conservation of the opposite compartment, preservation of ligaments and patellofemoral articulation, reduced loss of bone stock and lower implant cost.
