Knee joint is the largest joint in our body. It is associated with weight bearing and performance of delicate motion. In the presence of osteoarthritis, pain and deformity disturb knee function. If conservative treatment failed, surgical procedures must be resorted to relieve pain, correct deformity and restore knee function. The main procedures used currently are high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty. High tibial osteotomy has the advantages of simple procedure, preserving original structures and no limitation of activities after surgery. It is chosen for young active patients with early stage osteoarthritis confined to the medial compartment. Total knee arthroplasty has the effect of rapid pain relief and function recovery but it has the disadvantages of prosthetic loosening and limited activity. Currently used prostheses are of tricompartmental prosthesis with minimal constraint. Either cemented or porous-coated prosthesis has satisfactory result. The total condylar prosthesis has been used for more than 10 years and good results are still reported. The cementless, porous-coated prostheses are more prevalently used in the recent days. With the retaining of PCL, the cementless prostheses have better R.O.M. than that of total condylar prosthesis.
