Minimally Invasive Surgery for Partial Knee Replacement

Partial Knee Replacement Knee pain is a common problem, affecting nearly 50 million Americans of all ages. It can occur as the result of an injury, such as a cartilage tear or ligament rupture, or it can be caused by a medical condition, such as arthritis, gout, tendinitis, or bursitis. The cause, location, and severity of the knee pain can vary, but the most common symptoms that accompany it include:

Swelling and stiffness
Inability to fully extend the knee
Weakness or instability
Crunching or popping sounds

Some types of minor knee pain can be relieved by conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, bracing, massage, acupuncture, and steroid injections. Other cases, such as severe arthritis of the knee, may require surgical repair, which is where the board-certified knee surgeons at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine of New Jersey come in.

What Is a Partial Knee Replacement?

At AOSMI, our board-certified surgeons can provide those suffering from knee pain caused by arthritis with a partial knee replacement – a minimally invasive surgery that involves removing only the most damaged areas of cartilage from the knee joint while leaving any healthy parts intact. Most often, implants are placed at the end of the thigh bone and top of the shin bone through a small incision measuring between four and six inches. There are many potential benefits to this procedure:

It involves a much smaller incision than a traditional knee replacement
There is higher patient satisfaction than total knee replacement
There is less pain and blood loss as compared to a total knee replacement
It can often be performed in an outpatient setting, which allows for a faster recovery and reduced risk of infection
