Partial Knee Replacement Surgery for Damaged Knee Compartments

Knee arthritis doesn't always affect the whole joint. In some people, the wear is limited to one section while the remaining parts continue to function well. That's one reason partial knee replacement surgery may be discussed during a specialist consultation instead of replacing the entire knee. The Assessment Comes First The decision is based on symptoms, examination findings and imaging. Looking at the complete picture helps determine which treatment options are suitable. During the Consultation * Review of symptoms * Physical examination * X-rays or scans * Joint assessment * Discussion of treatment choices Every knee tells a different story. If you're considering partial knee replacement surgery, arrange a consultation with Mr Vishal Pai, orthopaedic knee surgeon in Melbourne.
