Partial Knee Replacement: Precision Treatment for Arthritis Pain

What is a Partial Knee Replacement?

Partial knee replacement, an outpatient minimally invasive surgical procedure, offers targeted relief for arthritis-related knee pain, facilitating a quicker return to daily activities.

Focused Treatment

This surgery is tailored for patients with arthritis limited to one compartment of the knee joint. It specifically targets the damaged area while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.

Procedure Details

During the surgery, the surgeon resurfaces the affected knee compartment by removing damaged cartilage and replacing it with artificial metal components that mimic the natural knee anatomy. A plastic component placed between the metal components enables smooth knee movement.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Cutting-edge technology is employed to ensure precise execution of the procedure, maximizing its effectiveness.

Preservation of Knee Integrity

Crucially, the surgery leaves the muscles and ligaments of the knee joint intact and protected throughout, facilitating a faster recovery process.

Advantages over Total Knee Replacement

Compared to total knee replacement, partial knee replacement offers several benefits:

Risk of progression: In some cases, arthritis may progress to affect other compartments of the knee joint following partial knee replacement, potentially necessitating further surgery.

Potential for revision surgery: While partial knee replacement can provide effective relief, there is a possibility that revision surgery may be required in the future if complications arise or if additional areas of the knee become affected by arthritis.

Canes, walkers, or other aids can assist with walking and reduce joint strain. These devices help redistribute weight and reduce the load on the knee joints.
