Unicondylar knee implant

摘要: A knee prosthesis, methods of implanting the method treating arthritis knee, and a kit therefore are provided. The prosthesis answers many limitations current prosthetic devices by providing two-component (or alternatively, an optional three-component) device, as either single structure, or separate pieces. One components is constructed low friction material, while second composed weight-dissipating cushioning material; third component material. initially attached to surrounding soft tissue in biodegradable sutures; it held permanently place fibrous ingrowth into porous collagen rims component. Major improvements provided present invention over currently available prostheses include minimal incisions, no bone cuts, overall dissection (these lead shorter hospital stays rapid rehabilitation fewer potential for side effects), less wear, greater longevity, activity restrictions, able be used on young, large, active patients, ease revision, conversion total arthroplasty if needed.
