Partial Knee Replacement

There have been real strides in knee replacement surgery since the pioneering work of 1960s and 1970s.  Advances in implant design, instrumentation and materials now means that surgical outcome has a predictably high success rate.

Some patients have very isolated arthritis in their knees and very little deformity.  If this is the case, you may be considered for partial replacement of the joint.
