Is Partial Knee Arthroplasty Right for Your Knee?

Knee arthritis doesn't always spread through the whole joint. Sometimes it's one section that's worn down while the rest still holds up fine. That's the situation partial knee arthroplasty is built for. It treats the damaged part and leaves the rest alone. Working out whether that's actually the case means imaging, plus a hands-on examination. Having damage in one compartment doesn't automatically mean partial knee arthroplasty is the answer. It takes a proper look first. Talk to Mr Vishal Pai, orthopaedic knee surgeon in Melbourne, about whether it's worth considering for your knee.
