Minimally Invasive Half Total Knee

Unicondylar Arthroplasty (1/2 Total Knee, Most Minimally Invasive!)

If only one side of your knee is diseased, you might qualify for a 3-inch incision and less destruction to your God given tissue allowing for even a faster recovery of 2 weeks.  All 4 of your ligaments of the knee will remain untouched and only our diseased articular cartilage will be removed.  The implants will be templated to your exact bone size and cement into position. The care team will have you walking 1 hour after your surgery.

Benefits:

• Preservation of Healthy Tissue: Since only the damaged part of the knee is replaced, healthy bone and tissue in the rest of the knee joint are preserved.
• Smaller Incision: Minimally invasive techniques are used, resulting in potentially less postoperative pain, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to total knee replacement.
• Quicker Recovery: Patients may experience shorter hospital stays and faster rehabilitation compared to total knee replacement.
• Less Trauma to the Knee: The procedure aims to minimize disruption to the knee joint's ligaments, tendons, and muscles, which can contribute to a quicker return to normal activities.
