Individually magnetic resonance imaging-designed unicompartmental interpositional implant insertion for osteoarthritis of the knee
Osteoarthritis of the knee can cause pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty in walking. In this procedure, an individually designed implant is inserted at the knee between the thigh and shin bones with the object of realigning the knee and preventing bone-on-bone rubbing. This aims to reduce pain and delay the progression of osteoarthritis and the need for further, more invasive surgery, such as knee replacement.
