Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female subjects may be recruited to the evaluation 2. Age - there are no restrictions relating to age of the patient.

Subjects who are able to give voluntary, written informed consent to participate in this investigation and from whom consent has been obtained 4. Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are able to understand this investigation, co-operate with the investigation procedures and are willing to return to the hospital for all the required post-operative follow-ups 5. Subjects who require a unicondylar knee arthroplasty for primary surgical management of idiopathic osteoarthritis 6. Patients who in the opinion of the Chief Investigator are considered to be suitable for treatment with a MAKOplasty® and OXFORD® unicondylar knee replacement
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, have an existing condition that would compromise their participation and follow-up in the study 2. Patients who require revision knee arthroplasty surgery 3. Patients with any tibial deformity requiring tibial component augmentation 4. Patients whom, in the opinion of the Chief Investigator, require a total knee prosthesis 5. Patients with inflammatory polyarthritis 6. Disorders of the feet, ankles, hips or spine causing significant abnormal gait or significant pain 7. Neurological conditions affecting movement 8. Patients with a pathology which, in the opinion of the Chief Investigator, will adversely affect healing 9. Patients with other disorders which, in the opinion of the Chief Investigator, will/could impair rehabilitation 10. Contra-indications for use of the device, as detailed in the package insert 11. Women who are pregnant. If there is uncertainty over pregnancy then a pregnancy test will be conducted. 12.
