Abstract
When conservative management of knee arthritis fails, one of the following surgical procedures may be indicated: osteotomy, unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA), or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Arthroscopy and lavage as well as arthrodesis will not be described here. The procedure indicated is dependent on the clinical history from the patient, as well as his or her functional complaints, motivations, clinical examination, and the radiological findings.
