This review summarizes past studies examining the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee that have led to the conclusion that the disease is slow, progressive, and typically limited to one tibiofemoral compartment. Treatments such as unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) that address the single diseased compartment, preserving bone and soft tissue, seem appropriate. The senior author's minimally invasive surgical technique for performing UKA also is described.
这篇综述总结了过去研究膝关节骨关节炎（OA）进展的研究，这些研究得出结论，该疾病进展缓慢，呈进行性，且通常局限于一个胫股关节间室。诸如单髁膝关节置换术（UKA）等针对单一病变间室、保留骨骼和软组织的治疗方法似乎是合适的。文中还描述了资深作者进行UKA的微创外科技术。
