medial compartment Explanation: Surgical Treatment of Medial Compartment Arthritis http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1251851-overview -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-07-17 21:26:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Unicompartmental Arthritis. The knee is composed of three compartments, the (1) medial compartment, (2) lateral compartment, and (3) patellofemoral compartment. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition affecting articular cartilage https://orthosurgery.ucsf.edu/patient-care/services/Sports-M... cccccccc Most commonly, this will involve the medial compartment of the knee. However, isolated patello-femoral (knee cap) knee replacements can also be performed if the arthritis pattern is localised to the knee cap joint. The advantage of unicompartmental knee replacement is that it is a less invasive operation. https://www.thekneedoc.co.uk/arthritis/ |
