Unicondylar Knee Replacement (UKR), also known as partial knee replacement, is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function in patients suffering from isolated damage to one part of the knee joint. Unlike total knee replacement, which replaces the entire knee joint, UKR only replaces the damaged portion of the knee, preserving healthy tissue and bone.

Why Choose Unicondylar Knee Replacement?

• Minimally Invasive: UKR is a less invasive procedure compared to total knee replacement, resulting in smaller incisions, less trauma to surrounding tissues, and typically a faster recovery time.
• Preserves Healthy Tissue: By only replacing the damaged part of the knee joint, UKR preserves healthy bone and tissue, which may lead to better long-term outcomes and future treatment options.
• Quicker Recovery: Many patients experience a quicker recovery and return to normal activities sooner compared to total knee replacement, due to the less invasive nature of the procedure.
• Improved Range of Motion: UKR can help improve the range of motion in the affected knee, allowing patients to engage in activities with less pain and greater mobility.

Is Unicondylar Knee Replacement Right for You?

Not all patients are candidates for UKR. Your orthopedic surgeon will evaluate your individual condition and medical history to determine the most appropriate treatment option for you. Factors such as the extent of knee damage, overall joint stability, and your activity level will be taken into consideration.
