Clinical Overview & Disease Information
Unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged section of the knee joint, preserving the healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments.The human knee is divided into three compartments: the medial (inside), the lateral (outside), and the patellofemoral (the front of the knee between the kneecap and thighbone). In a partial replacement, the surgeon removes arthritic tissue from just one of these compartments—most commonly the medial side—and caps it with a metal and plastic prosthetic implant.
