Dr Ashish Sheth, Senior Joint Replacement Surgeon at Shalby Hospitals and SOCE (Shalby Orthopedics Centre of Excellence) Vijay, talks about unicondylar knee replacement surgery, which is also called half knee replacement or partial knee replacement.
Whilst the entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint in Total Knee Replacement, in Unicondylar or Partial Knee Replacement either the inside (medial) or outside (lateral) compartment of the knee joint is replaced with artificial parts. It is relatively a smaller surgery than TKR.
Dr. Sheth explains in detail that when the knee disease is in initial stage this can be a preferred type of surgery and talks about its benefits.
