[Unicompartmental meniscal knee replacement in treatment of patients with knee osteoarthrosis]

One condyle meniscal endoprosthesis is thought to be an adequate method of surgical treatment of patients with isolated symptoms of degenerative diseases of the knee joint when the indications and contraindications are carefully observed. The method includes the substitution of the articulation surfaces of only internal condyles of the femur and tibia for artificial ones leaving intact the external and anterior parts of the joint as well as the crucial and lateral ligaments. It results in elimination of the pain syndrome, rapid restoration of the knee joint function and the supporting ability of the lower extremity.
