Introduction to Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

Partial knee replacement surgery in India is an advanced orthopedic procedure that replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint while preserving healthy bone and tissue. This technique is suitable for patients with arthritis confined to a single compartment of the knee, offering faster recovery and a more natural knee function than total knee replacement.

At Crayon Healthcare, we ensure that patients receive world-class partial knee replacement surgery in India at affordable prices, performed by top orthopedic surgeons using US FDA-approved knee implants.

Why Undergo Partial Knee Replacement Surgery?

The primary reason for partial knee replacement surgery is to relieve severe arthritis pain that has not responded to conservative treatments. Your doctor may recommend this surgery if:

• Knee pain interferes with daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or bending.
• You experience persistent pain even while resting or sleeping.
• Medications, physical therapy, and injections have not provided relief.
• Arthritis is limited to one compartment of the knee joint.

Unlike total knee replacement, partial knee replacement surgery preserves healthy tissues, resulting in a more natural knee movement and a quicker return to normal activities.

Causes of Knee Pain Leading to Surgery

Various conditions can lead to severe knee pain and joint damage, including:

• Osteoarthritis – The most common cause of knee degeneration due to cartilage wear and tear.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition causing inflammation and joint damage.
• Inflammatory Arthritis – Chronic joint inflammation affecting knee function.
• Meniscus Tear – Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee joint.
• Knee Injury – Previous fractures or ligament damage leading to joint deterioration.
• Joint Infections – Bacterial or viral infections affecting knee cartilage.
• Haemophilia – A bleeding disorder that can lead to joint damage.
• Gout – A condition caused by uric acid buildup, leading to severe joint pain and swelling.

Treatment Procedure for Partial Knee Replacement

Before Surgery

Before the procedure, you will receive anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. The two common types are:

• General Anesthesia – You will be asleep throughout the surgery.
• Regional Anesthesia (Spinal or Epidural) – You will be numb from the waist down but may receive sedation to relax.

During Surgery

• A small incision (3 to 5 inches) is made over the knee.
• The surgeon examines the knee joint to confirm the damage is limited to one compartment.
• The damaged tissue and bone are removed.
• A metal and plastic prosthetic is inserted into the knee joint.
• The implant is secured using bone cement.
• The incision is closed with stitches, and bandages are applied.

After Surgery

• Patients typically start walking with assistance within 24 hours.
• Physical therapy begins immediately to restore movement and strength.
• Most patients leave the hospital within 2 days and recover fully within 4 to 6 weeks.

Benefits of Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

• Smaller Incision & Less Tissue Damage
  • Traditional knee replacement requires an 8-inch incision, whereas partial knee surgery only requires a 4-inch incision.
  • Less disruption to muscles, tendons, and ligaments, leading to faster healing.
• Minimal Blood Loss

  • Total knee replacement often requires a blood transfusion, while partial knee surgery rarely does.

• Faster Recovery & Shorter Hospital Stay

  • Most patients leave the hospital within 1-2 days, compared to 3-4 days for total knee replacement.

  • Patients return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks, whereas total knee replacement recovery can take up to 3 months.

• More Natural Knee Movement

  • Preserves ligaments and healthy bone, allowing for a more natural knee function.

  • Studies show patients with partial knee replacement report a more “natural” knee feel than those with total knee replacements.

• Lower Risk of Complications

  • Lower risk of blood clots, infections, and stiffness compared to total knee replacement.

Recovery Timeline for Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

• Hospital Stay: 2 days post-surgery.

• Total Stay in India: 1 week, including follow-up care and physiotherapy.

• Walking Assistance: Required for 1-2 weeks.

• Full Recovery: Typically 4-6 weeks, compared to 3 months for total knee replacement.

Patients traveling to India for partial knee replacement surgery can return home within 7-10 days after the procedure.
