ABSTRACT Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is now well-established as a treatment option for isolated compartment osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Improvements in surgical technique, instrumentation, component design, and rapid rehabilitation has resulted good long-term survivorship and in the wider acceptance for UKA. The experiences from several centers have been key in the education of surgeons with regards to patient selection, technical considerations, and importantly avoiding common pitfalls can lead to early failure of the components. A younger patient may require revision in their lifetime, but modern UKA design allows this to be performed with minimal surgical difficulties and with good outcome.

AbstractVaricocele refers to an abnormally dilated and tortuous pampiniform venous plexus within the spermatic cord. The prevalence of varicocele is reported to be approximately 15% in the general male population. Its incidence increases with age and has a higher incidence in infertile men. Varicocele treatment (surgical or interventional) is considered one of the most common therapies of reversible infertility in men. Percutaneous embolization offers nonsurgical, minimally invasive option for the treatment of varicoceles, requiring only minimal sedation. In this article, the authors review the clinical and technical details of percutaneous varicocele embolization with a summary of currently available evidence.
