Partial knee replacement, a revolutionary procedure

Tirupati: Dr Madan Mohan Reddy, joint knee replacement surgeon, Sunway Medical Centre, is providing partial knee replacement, a revolutionary procedure designed to give recovery with improved surgical outcome for patients with arthritis in only one compartment of the knee.
By selectively targeting the portion of the knee, that has been damaged by arthritis, surgeons can resurface the damaged area without touching the healthy bone and the tissue surrounding it. This procedure is mainly meant for the young arthritic patients.
Dr Reddy says the aim of partial knee replacement is to relieve pain, restore the natural function and mobility of the knee to enable the patient to near normal activities. By treating arthritis at early stage, the functional outcomes and natural knee movements can be completely restored.
In comparison to the total knee replacement surgery, the blood loss is less, pain is minimal, recovery is faster and there is no restriction of movements. The patients with partial replacement can participate in all kinds of sports activities.
