Unicompartmental knee replacement focuses on treating damage in only one part of the knee, making it a less invasive option for selected individuals. At KULKARNI ORTHOPAEDICCENTERBANGALORE in Bangalore, this procedure is recommended when arthritis or cartilage wear is limited to either the inner or outer section of the knee. Instead of replacing the entire joint, only the affected compartment is treated, preserving more natural tissue and improving mobility.
People with localized knee pain often find this approach more comfortable because it requires smaller incisions and allows quicker recovery. LSI phrases such as partial knee arthritis, one-sided joint damage, and cartilage preservation help explain why this surgery offers targeted relief. By keeping the healthy part of the knee intact, the joint feels more natural and responds better during walking or bending.
Recovery is generally faster when compared to full knee replacement. Physiotherapy helps improve muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. Patients appreciate the shorter healing time and the ability to resume daily activities sooner. When performed for the right candidates, unicompartmental knee replacement delivers long-lasting comfort and smooth joint movement.
If your knee pain is limited to one side and affecting your routine, a focused treatment approach can offer lasting results.
