Partial Knee Replacement Procedure

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Targeted Joint Pain Relief

What is Partial Knee Replacement?

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR), also known as unicompartmental knee replacement, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint, preserving healthy bone and ligaments. This procedure is ideal for patients with localized knee arthritis, providing quicker recovery and improved mobility compared to total knee replacement.

Who Needs Partial Knee Replacement?

  • Localized Knee Arthritis
  • Persistent Knee Pain & Stiffness
  • Intact Ligaments & Cartilage
  • Failure of Conservative Treatment

Step-by-Step Procedure

Pre-Surgery Preparation
  • Medical Evaluation & Imaging (X-rays/MRI) – To confirm if PKR is the best option.
  • Pre-Surgical Instructions – Avoid certain medications, fasting before surgery.
  • Anesthesia – Spinal or general anesthesia is administered before surgery.
Surgical Procedure
  • Step 1: Small Incision & Knee Access
  • A 3-5 inch incision is made over the knee.
  • Muscles and soft tissue are carefully separated to expose the damaged area.
  • Step 2: Damaged Tissue Removal
  • The worn-out cartilage and bone in the affected compartment are removed.
  • Healthy ligaments and knee structures are preserved.
  • Step 3: Implant Placement
  • A metal and plastic implant is secured in the knee to restore function.
  • The implant mimics the natural knee movement and reduces pain.
  • Step 4: Closing & Recovery
  • The incision is closed with stitches or surgical glue.
  • A bandage is applied, and the knee is stabilized for healing.
  • Surgery Duration: 45-90 minutes
  • Hospital Stay: 1-2 days (often same-day discharge)
Post-Surgery Recovery & Rehabilitation
  • Walking with Support (Day 1-2) – Early mobilization prevents stiffness.
  • Physical Therapy Starts (Week 1-2) – Strengthening and flexibility exercises.
  • Gradual Return to Daily Activities (Week 4-6) – Light exercises and daily movements.
  • Full Recovery (6-12 Weeks) – Most patients resume normal activities.
