Partial Knee Replacement
A targeted, less invasive alternative to total knee replacement for patients with damage limited to one part of the joint.
Overview
Replacing Only What's Damaged
Partial knee replacement (unicompartmental knee arthroplasty) replaces only the damaged compartment of the knee — medial, lateral, or patellofemoral — while preserving healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments. This results in a smaller incision, faster recovery, and a more natural-feeling joint compared to total knee replacement.
- ✓ Preserves healthy bone and ligament tissue
- ✓ Smaller incision than total knee replacement
- ✓ Faster recovery and more natural joint feel
- ✓ Can be converted to total replacement later if needed
Quick Facts
• Also known as unicompartmental knee replacement
• Typically a 1–2 hour outpatient or short-stay procedure
• Most effective for single-compartment arthritis
• Preserves the ACL and surrounding healthy tissue
Who Needs It
Is Partial Knee Replacement Right for You?
This procedure is best suited to patients with damage confined to one area of the knee.
Single-Compartment Arthritis
Cartilage wear limited to the inner, outer, or kneecap compartment rather than the entire joint.
Stable, Healthy Ligaments
An intact ACL and stable surrounding ligaments are required for a good outcome.
Good Range of Motion
Candidates typically retain reasonable knee flexion and minimal deformity.
Failed Conservative Treatment
Pain persists despite medication, injections, or physical therapy.
Active, Health-Conscious Patients
Those who want a faster return to daily activity than total replacement allows.
Not Significantly Overweight
Lower body weight tends to improve implant longevity and surgical outcomes.
Benefits
Why Choose Partial Over Total Replacement
A less invasive option that preserves more of your natural knee.
Smaller Incision
A more targeted surgical approach means less tissue disruption overall.
Faster Recovery
Most patients walk the same day and recover significantly faster than with total replacement.
More Natural Movement
Preserving healthy ligaments helps the knee feel and move more like its own.
Less Blood Loss
The smaller surgical field typically results in reduced blood loss during surgery.
Shorter Hospital Stay
Many patients go home the same day or after just one night.
Option to Upgrade Later
If needed, a partial replacement can later be converted to a total knee replacement.
The Procedure
How Partial Knee Replacement Is Performed
Using a smaller incision than total knee replacement, the surgeon removes only the damaged cartilage and bone from the affected compartment and replaces it with a precisely fitted implant.
- Performed under regional or general anesthesia
- Small incision made over the affected compartment
- Damaged cartilage and bone surface removed
- Metal and plastic implant components fitted and secured
- Knee tested for movement and alignment before closing
Pre-surgical imaging & planning
Small incision over damaged area
Damaged surface removed
Implant placed & secured
Motion tested & incision closed
Recovery
What to Expect After Surgery
Recovery is typically faster than total knee replacement, with most patients back to daily activity within weeks.
Day 0–1
Walking Begins
Most patients stand and walk with assistance the same day or the day after surgery.
Week 1–2
Early Rehabilitation
Physical therapy starts to restore range of motion and reduce swelling.
Week 3–6
Strength Building
Most patients walk without support and resume light daily activities.
Week 6–12
Return to Normal Activity
Many patients resume driving, work, and low-impact exercise during this stage.
3+ Months
Full Recovery
Continued strengthening leads to full functional recovery and long-term joint use.
FAQs
Partial Knee Replacement — Common Questions
Answers to what patients most often ask about this procedure.
How is partial knee replacement different from total knee replacement? +
Partial replacement only replaces the damaged compartment of the knee, preserving healthy bone and ligaments, while total replacement resurfaces the entire joint.
Am I too young or too old for this procedure? +
Candidacy depends more on the extent and location of joint damage than age alone, though it's most commonly performed in patients with single-compartment arthritis.
How long do partial knee implants last? +
Modern implants often last 15–20 years or longer, though longevity depends on activity level, weight, and overall joint health.
Will I need physical therapy afterward? +
Yes, structured physical therapy is an important part of recovery to restore strength, motion, and stability in the knee.
How long is the hospital stay? +
Many patients go home the same day or after one night, which is shorter than the typical stay for total knee replacement.
Can a partial replacement later become a total replacement? +
Yes, if arthritis progresses to other compartments in the future, the partial replacement can be revised to a total knee replacement.
Is the recovery really faster than total knee replacement? +
Generally yes — the smaller incision and preserved tissue typically lead to less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to activity.
What activities can I return to after recovery? +
Most patients return to walking, swimming, cycling, and other low-impact activities; high-impact sports are generally discouraged to protect the implant.
What are the risks of partial knee replacement? +
Risks include infection, blood clots, implant wear, or progression of arthritis in other compartments — your surgeon will review these based on your case.
How do I know if I need partial or total knee replacement? +
Imaging and a physical evaluation will determine how much of the knee is damaged, which guides whether a partial or total replacement is more appropriate.
