Unicondylar/Partial Knee Replacement Surgery in Max Hospital

Unicondylar Knee Replacement refers to the replacement of only a part of the knee through a smaller incision. It is an alternative treatment for patients suffering from osteoarthritis with damage to only one part of the knee joint.

Benefits of Unicondylar Knee Replacement:

Lesser Invasions:

Surgeons make a small opening in the affected area, reducing surgical injury to surrounding soft tissues.

Less Surgical Complications:

Smaller incisions result in fewer complications such as blood loss, infection, or bruising, promoting a quicker recovery.

Quicker Recovery:

Small incisions facilitate a faster recovery, allowing patients to resume routine activities sooner.

Improves Motion:

Enhances mobility, reduces pain and stiffness, and strengthens the knee and surrounding area.

Preserves Natural Knee:

Healthy knee portions remain untouched, preserving natural tissue. Minor arthritis in other knee parts can be managed with medications.

Scope of Extension:

If needed, partial replacement can be shifted to total knee replacement, providing flexibility in treatment.

Best Candidates for Unicondylar Knee Replacement:

• Individuals over 55 years of age.
• Younger patients with knee damage.
• Those without rheumatoid arthritis, localized arthritis, and with healthy ligaments.

Candidates Not Suitable for Unicondylar Knee Replacement:

• Persons with arthritis affecting multiple compartments.
• Severe angular deformity.
• Inflammatory arthritis patients.

Those with unstable knees from previous osteotomy, heavy work, or sports involvement.

Procedure:

• General or spinal anesthesia is administered.
• Surgeon makes a small incision near the damaged area, assessing knee structure.
• If arthritis affects multiple areas, total knee arthroplasty is considered.
• Surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone, replacing them with metal prosthetics fixed in place with cement.
• Plastic insert allows smooth joint motion.

Recovery:

• Hospital stay: 1 to 3 days.
• Use of crutches or walkers for 1-2 weeks.
• Physiotherapy for strength and flexibility.
• Full recovery in about six weeks, resuming regular activities, including sports and exercises.

Risks:

• Infection, blood clotting, damage to blood vessels or nerves.
• Lingering knee pain, stiffness, patella dislocation.
• Wear out of plastic linings, implant loosening.
