PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENT
20 to 30% of patients with knee osteoarthritis (wear and tear) may be candidates for partial replacement.
Advantages:
· Greater satisfaction and better mobility
· Less pain
· We preserve 75% of the articular surface and cruciate ligaments
· Less bleeding
· Shorter recovery time
Surgery candidates:
· Wear in one of the three compartments of the knee
· Knee pain that doesn't get better with conservative measures
· Among other causes…
Unicompartmental knee prosthesis
It is performed when wear is present in only one of the three compartments of the knee. The remaining undamaged articular surface is preserved.
It is a less invasive surgery, preserving the natural movement of the knee, with a shorter recovery time compared to a total replacement.
We work with major medical expense insurances available at our country
