Uni-knee/UniSpacer knee implant: A viable arthritis alternative to knee replacement
Arthritis of the knee is an increasingly common problem amongst active patients, typically from ages 35 thru middle-aged and into the elderly population. The inner/medial cartilage area of the knee is quite often much more arthritic than the patellofemoral (under the kneecap) or outer/lateral compartments. However, while some patients can indeed point with one finger to the most painful portion of the knee (often that inner/medial compartment), others just say that “its my whole knee doc.” Despite the frequent perception of global knee pain, in reality, the percentage of individuals with primarily uni-compartmental/medial knee arthritis is much higher than is generally appreciated.
