What is the purpose of partial knee replacement surgery?

The purpose of partial knee replacement surgery is to restore the joint to its original function. Partial knee replacements may help improve mobility, reduce pain, and improve the overall quality of life.

Why do you need partial knee replacement surgery?

The single-compartmental knee damage caused by advanced osteoarthritis is the most common reason your doctor might recommend a partial knee replacement. Your knee joint may experience severe wear and tear due to osteoarthritis. 

The ability of your joint to absorb stress is hampered if arthritis affects the cartilage, which causes mechanical pain that is exacerbated by activity. Bone-on-bone contact occurs in more severe conditions where the cartilage has completely worn away, causing excruciating discomfort, stiffness, and limited mobility. 

Surgical procedure for partial knee replacement in Hyderabad

The diseased bone and tissue from the knee joint are removed during a partial knee replacement and replaced with plastic or metal components. It only occurs when arthritis has exclusively damaged a certain knee area.

The rest of the knee will be retained while this portion is replaced with a prosthetic, artificial implant. The entire treatment is carried out through smaller incisions to allow for a quicker recovery; the steps in the partial knee replacement process are listed below.

• A preoperative nurse will start an intravenous line for hydration and medication to prepare you for the procedure. You will then be brought into the operating room, where either local anaesthetic or general anaesthesia will be given to you. 
• The surgeon will next cut your knee at that point. This can range from 7.5 to 13 centimetres or 3 to 5 inches. They will examine the knee joint to better look at the injured joint. 
• They will carefully move the supporting structure out of the way once they get access to the knee compartment that is injured. 
• The affected areas deteriorate, and bone and cartilage will next be removed.
• After that, these surfaces are prepared for the artificial implant customised to fit your joint. The metal components are separated from one another by a plastic spacer to allow easy movement.
• All surrounding tissues and structures are repaired after the implant has been cemented in place, and the incision is then closed.
