Partial Knee Replacement
A less invasive alternative to total knee replacement for patients whose arthritis is limited to a single compartment of the knee.
When arthritis is confined to just one compartment of the knee — most commonly the inner (medial) side — a partial, or unicompartmental, knee replacement can resurface only the damaged portion while preserving the healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments elsewhere in the joint.
Because less of the knee is altered, partial knee replacement is performed through a smaller incision and can offer a faster early recovery for the right candidate. Not every patient with knee arthritis qualifies — Dr. Vojdani reviews imaging and exam findings carefully to confirm the arthritis pattern is truly limited to one compartment before recommending this option over a total knee replacement.
