A partial knee replacement is ideal when the knee has arthritis localized to only one compartment. If your arthritis is confined to one area of the knee and your ligaments are healthy, this procedure preserves more of your natural knee while addressing the damaged area. Even though a total knee replacement has tremendous success, patients generally have greater satisfaction, functional scores, and a quicker recovery with a partial knee replacement.

What Partial Knee Replacement Involves

The procedure involves replacing only the damaged compartment of the knee with metal and plastic components, while preserving the healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments in the rest of the knee. Dr. Winegar uses advanced technology to ensure precise placement of the implant. This is performed as an outpatient procedure.

What to Expect After Partial Knee Replacement

Recovery from a partial knee replacement is typically faster than a total knee replacement. Most patients experience less pain, better range of motion, and a more natural-feeling knee. Physical therapy helps restore full function, and many patients return to their favorite activities within weeks.
