Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

In patients with only limited knee arthritis, we perform a uni-compartmental (partial) knee replacement. Unlike total knee replacement involving removal of all the knee joint surfaces, a partial knee replacement replaces only one side of the knee joint, preserving the undamaged cartilage.

Knee osteoarthritis usually occurs first in the medial (inside) compartment as this side of the knee bears most of the weight. In knees that are otherwise healthy, this approach allows the outer compartment and all ligaments to remain intact. By retaining all of the undamaged parts, the joint may bend better and function more naturally.

This conservative procedure makes the technique less invasive than traditional knee replacement surgery. This technique requires a smaller incision (3 to 4 inches), less bone removal with minimal trauma to surrounding soft tissue, which allow you to recover more quickly and almost painlessly.

The implant will also help prolong or avoid the need for future total knee replacement. However, if you should need total knee replacement in the future, partial knee replacement allows us to perform the procedure with a less invasive approach.

Complications in Knee Replacement Surgery

The surgery is extremely successful in most cases, some patients still experience stiffness and pain. No implant will last forever and factors such as the patient’s post-surgical activities and weight can affect longevity. Be sure to discuss these and other risks with us.

Preparing for Surgery

Patients should begin preoperative strengthening exercises to help them prepare for surgery and their recovery. Patients may be given a comprehensive nutrition plan to help ensure optimum health before surgery.

There are many things that we will do to minimize the potential for complications. We may refer you to see a medical physician before surgery to obtain tests. You may also need to have your dental work up to date and may be shown how to prepare your home to avoid falls.

After Partial Knee Replacement Surgery in India

After surgery, most patients walk on their surgical leg the same day or next day and can be discharged within 48 – 72 hours. It is important to start moving your new knee as soon as possible after surgery to promote blood flow, to regain knee motion, and to facilitate the recovery process.

Before you leave the hospital, our therapist will show you a variety of exercises designed to help you regain mobility and strength in your knee. You should be able to perform these exercises on your own at home. You will be shown how to safely climb and descend stairs, how to get into and out of a seated position, and how to care for your knee once you return home.

Recovery from Partial Knee Replacement

Recovery after partial knee replacement in India, takes approximately half as long as traditional total knee replacement. Every person’s recovery time will vary, but most people should be able to drive after 4 weeks, gardening after 4 to 6 weeks, and golf about 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. We will tell you when you can return to these activities and will also tell you which activities to avoid.
