What is Partial Knee Replacement?
Partial knee replacement is a surgical procedure targeting specific knee compartments. The knee has three compartments:
-
Medial (inside part)
-
Lateral (outside part)
-
Patello-femoral (front of the knee)
This procedure replaces only the damaged compartment with metal and plastic implants, preserving approximately 70% of the natural knee, including ligaments. It offers a more targeted approach for patients with arthritis limited to a single knee compartment.
