Marx A et al. – Article discusses various factors that have an influence on the selection of the treatment procedure for medial knee arthritis.

• Bicompartmental prostheses in young active pts are not recommended due to the expected survival time of the implant
• Alternatives that can reduce pain and at the same time preserve all options for knee prosthetics is Unispacer
• It is a metal spacer for the medial compartment
• Indications for this implant have to be chosen carefully; relatively high revision rates are reported
• Revision surgery to any other type of implant can be performed easily
