Optimal solution for isolated knee joint damage
Partial knee replacement is a surgical procedure that involves replacing only the damaged part of the knee joint with a prosthetic implant. This is typically done for patients who have osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions that affect only one part of the knee joint. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a small incision and remove the damaged cartilage and bone from the affected area. They will then place the prosthetic implant into the joint, which will help to restore normal function and reduce pain and inflammation. After the surgery, patients will typically need to undergo physical therapy and rehabilitation to help them regain strength and mobility in their knee. While partial knee replacement is generally less invasive than a full knee replacement, it is still a major surgery that requires careful consideration and planning.
