Knee Osteoarthritis And Partial Knee Arthroplasty

It has the following advantages:

• Minimally invasive surgery with a smaller incision than total arthroplasty;
• Application to younger patients as well;
• Fast and usually painless recovery;
• Provides better postoperative range of motion;
• Protects healthy tissues (ligaments, cartilage, meniscus tendons, etc.);
• Little blood loss and extremely rarely applied.

Revision partial arthroplasty is usually an easier and shorter procedure for the patient and the surgeon.

A significant number of patients can avoid total knee arthroplasty and undergo partial knee arthroplasty.

Candidate patients for partial knee replacement are:

1. Osteoarthritis of the medial or external compartment of the knee;
2. The pain is limited to the affected area only;
3. Full ligament stability of the knee;
4. Check for knee deformation;
5. Age can be under 60 years.

Post-operatively

Return to full activity in 6 – 8 weeks including non-impact sports such as jumping, running. Tennis, skiing, cycling and other sports are allowed.
