Partial Knee Replacement

Focused Relief for Targeted Knee Pain. Less Invasive, Faster Recovery.

Not every knee condition requires a full replacement. In many cases, arthritis or cartilage damage affects only one part of the knee—either the inner (medial), outer (lateral), or kneecap (patellofemoral) compartment. For such patients, a Partial Knee Replacement—also known as unicompartmental knee replacement—can be the ideal solution. It preserves healthy bone and ligaments while relieving pain and restoring movement.

At Kamakshi Orthopedics, located in Chaitanyapuri, Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad, we specialize in advanced partial knee replacement surgery. Our expert, Dr. Ashwin Reddy, combines years of experience with minimally invasive techniques to ensure faster recovery, improved function, and long-lasting results.

What is Partial Knee Replacement?

Partial knee replacement involves replacing only the damaged compartment of the knee with a small implant while preserving the rest of the joint. The surgery can be performed in any one of the three compartments:

  • Medial Compartment (inner knee) – Most commonly affected
  • Lateral Compartment (outer knee)
  • Patellofemoral Compartment (kneecap and thigh bone)

Since the procedure involves smaller incisions and less bone removal compared to total knee replacement, patients often recover quicker with more natural knee motion.

Ideal Candidates for Partial Knee Replacement

You may be a candidate for this procedure if:

  • Your knee arthritis is limited to one compartment
  • You have good range of motion and ligament strength
  • Pain persists despite medications and physiotherapy
  • Imaging confirms minimal damage in other compartments
  • You're relatively active and not severely overweight

This procedure is not advised for patients with inflammatory arthritis, ligament instability, or extensive joint degeneration.

Surgical Approach at Kamakshi Orthopedics

Dr. Ashwin Reddy and the team use high-precision instruments and pre-operative imaging to carefully assess your joint and choose the most appropriate implant. We perform minimally invasive partial knee replacements that help preserve:

  • Natural bone structure
  • Cruciate ligaments (ACL & PCL)
  • Healthy cartilage in the unaffected compartments

Surgical Approach at Kamakshi Orthopedics

  • Smaller incision and less tissue damage
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster rehabilitation
  • Less blood loss and reduced risk of complications
  • A more natural-feeling knee post-surgery

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Patients typically walk with support on the same day or the next day after surgery. With guidance from our physiotherapy team, you’ll gradually regain full motion and strength over the next few weeks.

Rehabilitation Plan Includes:

  • Strengthening exercises for quadriceps and hamstrings
  • Joint mobility and gait training
  • Swelling and pain control through icing and elevation
  • Postural correction and gradual return to daily activities

Most patients return to normal activities within 4–6 weeks and enjoy long-term improvement in comfort and mobility.
