Arthritis of the KneeOsteoarthritis is a degenerative process in which the cushioning cartilage of the surfaces wears away. It occurs most often as a result of the wear and tear on a joint that occurs with age. When the cushioning of the joint erodes to the underlying bone, the result is pain. In the case of arthritis of the knee, pain is most frequent during weight bearing activities.
Most often, one of the three areas of the knee will take the brunt of the force of everyday activities while the other two areas are usually less affected. It is this most affected area that is treated in unicompartmental arthroplasty.
