Comments: This superb article provides a comprehensive review of all the options available to a knee with advanced osteoarthritis. The authors discuss numerous previous studies, and look at both unicompartmental (one-side-only) and bicompartmental (i.e. both sides, hence total) knee replacements. They also examine potential complications and concerns which could arise from these types of major knee surgery, including infection, patellofemoral issues, deep vein thrombosis, and prosthetic wear/longevity.
