Partial knee replacement is ideal for patients whose arthritis is confined to a specific area of the knee. This procedure preserves more of the natural knee structure while relieving pain and restoring function.
FAQs

Partial knee replacement is suitable for patients with arthritis limited to one area of the knee. A total knee replacement may be recommended if the arthritis affects the entire joint.
Recovery from partial knee replacement is generally faster than a full knee replacement. Many patients can resume normal activities after approximately 6 to 8 weeks.
