Knee pain is pain caused by wear and tear, such as osteoarthritis or a meniscal tear.

However, in SONK, often just one side of the knee joint is afflicted, so unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) can be considered as an alternative that leads to a shorter recovery time. [3] A meta-analysis concluded that UKA was "an excellent alternative to TKA" with few complications and good survivorship.
