Home For patients For medical professionals News About us THE BENEFITS OF JOINT UNLOADING Home > For medical professionals > The benefits of joint unloading Unloading without sacrificing tissue or kinematics Tissue preserving High patient interest in preserving anatomy and future treatment options . Pain-free activity Increasing number of younger osteoarthritics who demand pain relief and possibility of return to high activity Treatment gap Conquer the treatment gap between conservative care and late stage surgery (HTO, UKA, TKA) . Built on years of clinical experience with joint unloading, the UKU is specifically designed for patients wishing to preserve both their knee and their lifestyle. The OA treatment continuum The UKU is the first surgical implant, considered ahead of HTO, UKA, TKA, because it offers a reversible procedure and does not require bone removal. Skyrocketing OA incidence in younger patients Between 1990 and 2010, the incidence of symptomatic knee OA skyrocketed, particularly among patients 35–65 years of age.¹ Knee joint replacement is coming under increasing clinical scrutiny for younger patients who wish to maintain high activity levels First performed in the 1960’s, knee joint replacement has provided benefit for many patients, but active adults of the 21st century are demanding more from their implants. Recent studies show that younger or active patients experience higher reoperation rates and higher levels of residual pain and dissatisfaction after knee replacement. Patients < 50 y/o revised at 2 years 2 0% Patients > 65 y/o revised at 2 years 2 0% Residual symptoms after TKA 3 Percentage of patients with residual symptoms No symptoms Irrespective of the type of implant, patients < 65 years of age have twice the risk of revision as compared with those > 75 4 % of patients with residual symptoms Joint unloading is a proven therapy that has recently become more common as the need for alternatives to arthoplasty becomes more evident. Numerous treatments, including weight loss, braces, and implantable unloaders, have delivered pain relief to patients with knee OA. 5–12 Studies have shown that only a relatively small amount of unloading can provide significant benefit. The UKU unloads a clinically meaningful 13 kg. Home For patients For medical professionals News and events About us GDPR Policy ©2021 Moximed Inc. All rights reserved.
