🦿 Medial Unicompartmental (Partial) Knee Replacement
Unlike total knee replacement, Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) is a procedure that preserves healthy knee tissue by replacing only the damaged portion of your knee joint. Key benefits that make Unicompartmental #KneeReplacement include:
- Smaller incision & less tissue disruption
- Faster recovery time
- Better range of motion
- More natural feel post-surgery
- Earlier return to daily activities
.
Ideal candidates typically have:
✓ Arthritis limited to one knee compartment
✓ Intact ligaments
✓ Good range of motion
✓ Correctable deformity
Modern advances in surgical techniques and implant design have dramatically improved outcomes. Studies show 90%+ success rates at 10 yrs, w/ many patients returning to active lifestyles within weeks rather than months.
#PartialKneeReplacement preserves your natural knee anatomy, making future surgeries easier if ever needed. Patients often report their knee feels more “normal” compared to total knee replacement. #KneeSurgery #JointReplacement #Orthopedics
