PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
What is Partial Knee Replacement?
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR), is a type of surgery done on the knee that is designed to replace an artificial knee implant. During this procedure, the impaired portion of the knee joint is substituted with a knee implant. It is appropriate when Arthritis or joint damage is present in only one compartment of the knee joint, so the bone and the limbs are still healthy; the ligaments in the knee are in good health prior to the commencement of the surgery.
Why Do You Need Partial Knee Replacement?
Arthritis in One Knee Compartment
Damage feels like it is restricted to either the medial or external portion of the knee joint.
Persistent Knee Pain & Stiffness
These greatly impact one’s daily living activities without failing medications or other forms of therapy.
Intact Knee Ligaments & Cartilage
People with a lot of structural bones on the knees are eligible.
Desire for a Less Invasive Surgery
The surgery is intended to leave a smaller cut and keep the knee area as intact as possible.
Initial Recovery (2-3 Weeks)

Complete Healing (3-6 Months)
Continuous engagement in physical exercises significantly enhances strength and flexibility.
Full Recovery
(4-6 Weeks)
