Partial Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental Knee Replacement)
This modern surgical technique has recently gained widespread popularity due to its high success rate and quicker recovery.

What Is It?
In many patients suffering from knee arthritis, only one side of the knee joint—either the inner (medial) or outer (lateral) compartment—is affected. The rest of the knee remains healthy.

Instead of replacing the entire joint, partial knee replacement (also known as unicompartmental knee replacement) involves replacing only the damaged portion of the knee. This allows patients to retain more of their natural bone, ligaments, and movement.

Why Choose Partial Knee Replacement?
Preserves healthy tissue and bone

Minimally invasive with smaller incisions

Faster recovery compared to total knee replacement

Less postoperative pain

More natural knee movement

Recovery
Most patients are able to walk the same day or the next and are discharged within 1–2 days. With guided rehabilitation by Dr. VijayKumar D and the team at SV Ortho Care, patients typically return to normal routines much faster.
