2. Subject has been diagnosed with post-traumatic arthritis

3. Subject receives simultaneous bilateral UKA OR a unilateral UKA with contralateral TKA.

4. Subject has one or more of the following arthroplasties that are not fully healed and well-functioning, as determined by the investigator:-Contralateral primary TKA or UKA, however, the subject can only have one knee enrolled in this study.

5. Subject does not understand the language used in the Informed Consent Form.

6. Subject does not meet the indication or is contraindicated for UKA according to specific S+N knee system's Instructions For Use (IFU).

7. Subject has active infection or sepsis (treated or untreated).

8. Subject is morbidly obese with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40.

9. Subject is pregnant or breast feeding at the time of surgery.

10. Subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, has advanced osteoarthritis or joint disease at the time of surgery and was better suited for an alternate procedure.

11. Subject currently enrolled in another orthopedic clinical trial study.

12. Subject has a condition(s) that may interfere with the UKA survival or outcome (i.e., Paget's or Charcot's disease, vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, uncontrolled diabetes, moderate to severe renal insufficiency or neuromuscular disease, or an active, local infection).

13. Subject in the opinion of the Investigator has an emotional or neurological condition that would pre-empt their ability or willingness to participate in the study including mental illness, intellectual disability, drug or alcohol abuse.

14. Subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, has a neuromuscular disorder that prohibited control of the index joint.

15. Subject is a prisoner or meets the definition of a Vulnerable Subject per ISO 14155:2020 Section 3.55.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	CORI system time and cutting time of the robotic drill	In the case logs, the following time stamps will be recorded in the log file of the CORI Case Report: State-Machine transition : [ Adjust Camera ] --> [ Checkpoint Definition ]; State-Machine transition : [ Checkpoint Verification ] --> [ Remove Bone ]; State-Machine transition : [ Remove Bone ] --> [ Baseline Stress ROM Collection ] CORI System Time CORI System starts with the checkpoint definition until the bone is removed. This is calculated by the time difference between #3 and #1.; Cutting Time The Cutting Time of the robotic drill is the time from the start until the end of bone removal and is calculated by the time difference between #3 and #2.	During Operation
Primary	Post-operative leg alignment	Post-operative leg alignment via radiographic assessment. Post-operative leg alignment is achieved when the deviation from the subject specific target does not exceed ±3 degrees.	6 weeks
Secondary	Component Alignment	Component alignment will be assessed on long leg standing antero-posterior (A/P) X-rays and standard non weight bearing lateral X-rays taken 6 weeks after surgery	6 weeks
Secondary	Radiographic assessment	Radiographic assessment on antero-posterior (A/P) and lateral (L) views shall be performed to identify the presence of radiolucent lines, osteolysis & implant migration.	12 months
Secondary	2011 Knee Society Score (KSS)	The Knee Society Score (KSS) is a validated tool combining objective physician-derived component with a subjective subject-derived component consisting of 36 questions & provides sub-scores across 4 dimensions. The Objective Knee Score rated by clinician assesses UKA alignment, stability, Range of Motion (ROM) and symptoms. The Subject Satisfaction Score assesses 5 daily activities: sitting, lying in bed, getting out of bed, light household duties, & leisure activities). The Subject Expectation Score evaluates the subject's expectations prior to surgery. Post-operative questions differ from pre-operative questions and ask if the subject's pre-operative expectations were met. Pre-op & post-op scores because they are based on different questions. The Functional Knee Score is derived from assessments of walking and standing, standard activities, advanced activities, and discretionary activities.	from pre-operative visit up to 12 months post-surgery
Secondary	Oxford Knee Score (OKS)	The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a Patient Reported Outcome questionnaire that was developed to assess perceived function and pain answered on a Likert scale after Total Knee Arthroplasty. Responses to each question ranges from 0-4 with a range of a possible overall score from 0-48. A score of 0 is the worst possible outcome while a score of 48 is the best possible outcome.	from pre-operative visit up to 12 months post-surgery
Secondary	Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)	The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) comprises measures for the assessment of joint-specific patient reported outcomes. Subjects are asked to rate their awareness of their knee arthroplasty in 12 questions with a five point Likert response format: "Never", "almost never", "seldom", "sometimes" and "mostly". The item scores are summed and linearly transformed in a 0 to 100 scale with a high value reflecting the ability of the subject to forget about the replaced knee joint during the activities of daily living.	from operative visit up to 12 months post-surgery
Secondary	Five-level EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L) VAS and index scores	The EQ-5D-5L score consists of two parts: a descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The descriptive system is used to describe the subject's health state and consists of five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels to choose the most appropriate answer: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The subject is asked to indicate his/her health state by marking the most appropriate statement in each of the five areas.; The visual analogue scale records the subject's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale. The endpoints on the scale are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome as judged by the individual respondents.	from pre-operative visit up to 12 months post surgery
