Partial Knee Replacement
A partial knee replacement, also known as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves replacing only the damaged or worn-out portion of the knee joint. This treatment is typically recommended for individuals with isolated arthritis or damage in a single compartment of the knee, such as the medial (inner) or lateral (outer) compartment.
Initial Evaluation
At Rejoice Orthocare Clinic in Nashik, Dr. Ramakant Bhivsan starts with a comprehensive evaluation to assess the patient's knee condition and determine if a partial knee replacement is a suitable option. This initial assessment helps identify the specific compartment of the knee affected by arthritis or damage.
Surgical Planning
If a partial knee replacement is recommended, Dr. Bhivsan and his team will carefully plan the surgical procedure. This includes selecting the appropriate implant components, determining the surgical approach, and ensuring the patient is properly prepared for the operation.
Partial Knee Replacement Surgery
During the partial knee replacement surgery, Dr. Bhivsan will remove the damaged portion of the knee joint and replace it with an artificial implant made of high-quality materials. This procedure aims to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the patient's overall quality of life while preserving the healthy parts of the knee.
Post-operative Care
After the surgery, the patient will receive comprehensive post-operative care, including pain management, physical therapy, and follow-up appointments with Dr. Bhivsan. This phase is crucial for a successful recovery and regaining optimal knee function.
Rehabilitation and Recovery
Rejoice Orthocare Clinic provides a structured rehabilitation program to help patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility after their partial knee replacement surgery. Dr. Bhivsan and his team closely monitor the patient's progress and provide guidance throughout the recovery process.
Follow-up and Ongoing Care
Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Bhivsan are essential to ensure the long-term success of the partial knee replacement. The clinic provides ongoing care and support to address any concerns or issues that may arise during the recovery and post-operative period.
Any Questions
Individuals with isolated arthritis or damage in a single compartment of the knee, such as the medial (inner) or lateral (outer) compartment, may be candidates for a partial knee replacement.
Partial knee replacement offers several benefits, including a smaller incision, faster recovery, and better range of motion compared to a total knee replacement. It also preserves more of the natural knee joint.
The recovery process for a partial knee replacement is typically shorter than a total knee replacement. At Rejoice Orthocare Clinic, we provide a comprehensive rehabilitation program to help patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility after the surgery.
With proper care and maintenance, partial knee replacements can last for 10-15 years or more. Our surgeons use high-quality implants and follow best practices to ensure longevity.
