Knee replacement (partial)
Unlike total knee replacements, partial knee replacements replace only part of your knee joint.
Who might need a partial knee replacement?
If you have only limited arthritis in your knee you may be a candidate for partial knee replacement.
Unicompartmental or Patellofemoral knee replacements
Your surgeon will recommend a prosthesis and treatment based on which area of your knee is affected by arthritis. Your consultation may include a discussion about Unicompartmental or Patellofemoral knee replacements. Both of these procedures are partial knee replacements.
Most people make a good recovery after a partial knee replacement. They experience less pain and increased mobility. Partial knee replacements may bend better and feel more like a normal knee than a total knee replacement.
Not all patients are candidates for the partial knee replacements. You should discuss your condition and treatment with your surgeon.
Our prices are all-inclusive. We will equal any comparable price. There are no time limits on your aftercare.
