What is a partial knee replacement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Partial knee replacement (or unicompartmental knee replacement) is a surgical alternative to total knee replacement when osteoarthritis affects only one part of the joint. Most often, this involves the medial compartment, but it can also involve the lateral or patellofemoral compartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a total knee replacement, which replaces the entire knee, a partial knee replacement preserves the ligaments, healthy cartilage, and much of the natural anatomy. It better respects the biomechanics of the joint, promoting faster recovery and a joint sensation closer to that of the original knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Coulin offers this option whenever the conditions are right, as it is a modern, conservative and effective solution for treating localized osteoarthritis of the knee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
