Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is one of the most common causes of painful loss of mobility in middle and elderly aged population. OA is the main indication for knee joint replacement surgery. Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is beneficial procedure for patient with degenerative OA which is limited in medial or lateral compartment providing reliable pain relief, improving function with significantly less morbidity and mortality as compared to total knee replacement. This editorial provides an overview of UKR, its relevance for Indian population, synopsis of results and future prospects. Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is one of the most
