Partial Knee Replacement Surgery at Manchester Hip Knee Surgeon

Partial knee replacement surgery is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that targets only the damaged compartment of your knee. At Manchester Hip Knee Surgeon, we offer expert care tailored to your needs, ensuring a quicker recovery and improved long-term outcomes.

 

What Is Partial Knee Replacement?

Partial knee replacement (PKR) involves replacing only the arthritic or damaged section—usually the medial (inner) or lateral (outer) compartment—of the knee, while preserving healthy bone, ligaments, and cartilage. This focused approach helps maintain natural knee movement and generally results in less postoperative discomfort than total knee replacement.

Who Is a Candidate for Partial Knee Replacement?

Partial knee replacement is most suitable for patients who:

• Have arthritis confined to one compartment of the knee.
• Maintain good overall knee function with intact ligaments.
• Experience significant pain and reduced mobility in the affected area.
• Prefer a less invasive surgical option with a faster rehabilitation process.

The Surgical Process

At Manchester Hip Knee Surgeon, our experienced consultants use advanced techniques to perform PKR with minimal disruption:

• Preoperative Assessment: A thorough evaluation—including clinical examination and imaging (X-rays, MRI)—ensures you are an ideal candidate for the procedure.
• The Procedure: Through a small incision, specialised instruments remove the damaged tissue and the prosthetic implant is precisely fitted into the affected compartment.
• Minimally Invasive Technique: This approach reduces surgical trauma, leading to less pain, minimal scarring, and a shorter hospital stay.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Postoperative care is key to maximising your recovery:

• Early Mobilisation: You will start physiotherapy soon after surgery to promote healing and regain knee movement.
• Individualised Rehabilitation: Our dedicated physiotherapy team designs a tailored exercise programme to restore strength, improve flexibility, and enhance overall stability.
• Ongoing Support: Regular follow-up appointments ensure your rehabilitation programme is adjusted as needed for the best outcomes.
