Investigation of an Early Intervention Tibial Component for Medial Osteoarthritis

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is usually the treatment of choice for severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Numerous clinical studies of TKA have shown high rates of long-term joint survival with good function [1]. Nevertheless, alternatives to this established procedure are being increasingly considered for several reasons. Postoperatively, patients frequently experience a slow rehabilitation and do not fully recover normal function [2]. On the other hand, there is a growing pressure to reduce operating time while increasing the use of less invasive surgical techniques.
