Knees do not wear out evenly. Many patients have been told they need a total knee replacement when a less invasive procedure can repair their knee injury. If the cartilage damage is limited to just one or two parts of the knee, we have had tremendous success resurfacing only the worn-out portion of the joint with a PARTIAL knee replacement.
So why replace what isn't broken? Today, with robotic assistance, we can perform partial knee replacements that resurface each compartment of the knee independently or in combination. Unlike a total knee replacement that replaces the entire knee joint, and may unnecessarily remove healthy parts of your knee, a partial knee replacement preserves your healthy tissue and replaces only the damaged areas. Knees with partial replacements feel more normal than those that require total replacements. This is because the geometry of the knee remains intact and the ligaments that naturally guide the knee are not removed.
