The answer to that questions is complicated and multifaceted. For the perfect patient, the UKA feels more natural, as one study found that asked patients that had a UKA done on one side and a total knee on the other found. Now that we have the basics of what a ‘uni’ is covered, the discussion can shift to MAKOplasty. A MAKOplasty is simply a ‘uni’ that is put in using computer navigation and a specialized robotic arm. The combination of computer navigation, and the robotic arm, make it easier for the surgeon to put in the components in proper mechanical alignment.

There is now a proven, less invasive technology used by ENT doctors to treat patients with chronic and recurrent acute sinusitis. With Balloon Sinuplasty, ENT doctors open inflamed sinuses in the same way that heart surgeons open up blocked arteries during balloon angioplasty. The procedure is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery, and effective at relieving symptoms of chronic sinusitis. Balloon Sinuplasty allows patients to return to normal activities quickly. Unlike conventional sinus surgery, it does not include removal of bone or tissue from the nose.

The knee has three compartments: medial (inside of knee), patellofemoral (between knee cap and femur), and lateral (outside section of knee joint). The most common form of osteoarthritis is a tri-compartmental arthritis that affects all 3 compartments of the knee. Therefore, it makes sense that the traditional knee replacement is a tri-compartmental arthroplasty that replaces all 3 compartments of the knee.

Cosmetic Z-plasty[edit] The irregularisation of a scar to make it less noticeable. Re-alignment of the central element can place the scar in natural skin tension lines and thereby disguise it. One of a family of similar techniques (such a W plasty).

Z-plasty is a versatile plastic surgery technique that is used to improve the functional and cosmetic appearance of scars. It can elongate a contracted scar or rotate the scar tension line. The middle line of the Z-shaped incision (the central element) is made along the line of greatest tension or contraction, and triangular flaps are raised on opposite sides of the two ends and then transposed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-plasty
Specific modifications include the double-opposing z-plasty (sometimes called a jumping man flap) which can be useful for release of webbing of the medial canthus or release of 1st web space contractures. It is one of the techniques used in scar revision, especially in burn scar contracture.
