UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT - EPISODE 24

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a surgical technique used for the treatment of osteoarthritis in one compartment of the knee, most commonly in the medial compartment. In contrast, a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is used for the treatment of osteoarthritis in all three compartments of the knee.
Unfortunately in India, even people with tricompartmental osteoarthritis are going for unicompartmental knee replacement surgery as they think it is a smaller surgery with less risks. These patients are happy for some time till other compartment arthritis that they have, starts troubling them. Pease do not fall for this. If you have arthritis in all 3 compartments don't go for unicompartmetal knee replacements, go for total knee replacement. Even longevity of total knee replacement is better if done properly.. This is my view and I personally feel very strongly about it.
