Partial Knee Replacement

Overview

Partial knee replacement, also known as unicompartmental knee replacement, is a surgical procedure that targets and replaces only the damaged portion of the knee, preserving healthy bone and tissue. This minimally invasive approach is particularly beneficial for patients with osteoarthritis confined to a specific area of the knee.

What to Expect

Before your partial knee replacement, you'll undergo a thorough consultation with one of our experienced orthopedic surgeons. During this visit, your surgeon will assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and determine if you're a suitable candidate for the procedure. The surgery itself involves replacing only the damaged section of your knee with an artificial implant, allowing for a less invasive approach and preserving more of your knee's natural structure.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

At Carondelet Medical Group, we utilize advanced robotic technology to enhance the precision and accuracy of partial knee replacement surgeries. Our robotic system enables surgeons to create a personalized surgical plan tailored to your unique knee anatomy. During the procedure, the robotic arm assists in precisely removing damaged tissue and positioning the new implant with exceptional accuracy.

Post-Operative Care

Post-operative care is essential to the success of your partial knee replacement. After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and ice therapy. It's important to keep your incision clean and dry and follow any specific wound care instructions provided by your surgeon. Physical therapy will play a vital role in your recovery, helping to restore strength and mobility to your knee. Our team will provide a customized rehabilitation plan to support your progress.
