Knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life. While total knee replacement is an effective solution for severe arthritis, it's not always necessary. For many patients, a less invasive option, known as partial knee replacement, can provide significant relief.

What is Partial Knee Replacement?
A partial knee replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged portion of your knee joint, preserving healthy bone and tissue. This minimally invasive approach offers several advantages over traditional total knee replacement, including

  • Smaller incision
  • Less pain and swelling
  • Faster recovery time
  • Improved knee function

When is Partial Knee Replacement Recommended?
Dr. Chandrashekhar Dixit, an expert orthopedic and joint replacement surgeon in Baner, will carefully evaluate your condition to determine if you are a suitable candidate for partial knee replacement. This procedure is often recommended for patients with:

  • Osteoarthritis affecting only one compartment of the knee
  • Moderate to severe knee pain
  • Limited range of motion
  • Inability to participate in desired activities

The Partial Knee Replacement Procedure
Dr. Dixit will perform the partial knee replacement using advanced surgical techniques and implants. The procedure typically involves:

  1. Making a small incision on the front of the knee
  2. Removing damaged cartilage and bone
  3. Implanting a metal and plastic component to replace the damaged part of the knee

Benefits of Partial Knee Replacement

  1. Reduced pain and stiffness
  2. Improved knee function and stability
  3. Faster recovery compared to total knee replacement
  4. Preserved bone and tissue
  5. Potential for a longer-lasting implant
