Partial KneeReplacement
Targeted resurfacing for isolated knee compartment damage.
Partial Knee Replacement
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR), also known as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty or 'Uni' surgery, is a sophisticated procedure that replaces only the damaged section of the knee while preserving healthy bone and ligaments. Dr. Ravi Teja explains that this approach is like 'resurfacing' a specific track; we remove only the arthritic cartilage and bone from one compartment (medial or lateral) to restore smooth, frictionless motion. By keeping the ACL and PCL intact, the knee retains its natural biomechanics, providing a more lifelike feel and significantly faster recovery than total joint replacement.
Surgical Process
Targeted Access
A small incision is made to access only the arthritic compartment of the knee.
Cartilage Resurfacing
Meticulously removing worn-off cartilage and bone from the femoral and tibial surfaces.
Prosthetic Fitting
Seating precision-engineered metal and medical-grade plastic components to replicate joint function.
Patient Care
Recovery Roadmap
Patients typically return to daily activities within 3-6 weeks. With focused physical therapy, returning to light sports like golf or cycling is common within 6-10 weeks. Most patients achieve immediate weight-bearing status.
Who Needs This Procedure?
Patients with isolated arthritis in one compartment and healthy ligaments
Individuals seeking a more 'lifelike' feel to their knee after surgery
Active patients looking for a faster return to light sports and hobbies
Patients wishing to minimize scarring and hospital recovery time
