| pubmed-article:16452749 | pubmed:abstractText | Knee arthritis in the young patient is a challenging problem that may necessitate surgical treatment. We continue to perform hemiarthroplasty with a metallic tibial implant in selected young patients who, for various reasons, are not candidates for osteotomy, unicompartmental arthroplasty, or total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of the present study was to determine the minimum twelve-year results of this procedure in young patients. | lld:pubmed |
