Improve Knee Function with Partial Knee Arthroplasty

Knee arthritis can remain limited to one section of the joint. Partial knee arthroplasty may suit patients where damage is confined to a specific compartment. Several factors can influence the choice of partial replacement. Your knee requires assessment before surgery is recommended. * Location and extent of arthritis * Knee alignment and movement * Condition of the remaining joint surfaces * Symptoms affecting daily activities * Findings from clinical examination and imaging The partial knee arthroplasty will only replace the damaged portion of the knee. Whether a patient can benefit from the procedure will depend on his or her medical history. The partial knee replacement may be ideal for patients with localised arthritis.
