Partial Knee Replacement Introduction
Partial Knee Replacement (also known as Uni Knee Replacement) involves resurfacing the damaged portions of the knee while leaving healthy areas intact. The cartilage covering the femur and tibia becomes worn and the underlying bone develops spurs and various irregularities which produce pain and loss of knee motion. This procedure is most commonly performed on the inside (medial) section of the knee but in some cases it may also be performed on the outside (lateral) section of the knee as well.
