Partial knee replacement (PKR) is a less invasive option suitable for patients with damage to a specific compartment of the knee. By targeting only the damaged area, PKR preserves healthy bone and tissue, which can lead to a quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort.
This procedure often results in a more natural feel during movement, as it maintains more of the patient’s original anatomy compared to total replacement. Some patients forget that their knee was ever operated, because their knee feels as it was before the pain.
Robotic Partial Knee Replacements allow for the following advantages for the patient.
- Better fit of the prosthesis with the patient’s anatomy.
- More natural result and feel of the prosthesis.
- Better alignment and balancing of the knee.
- A more durable prosthesis.
- Less tissue destruction.
- Speedier recovery.
- Shorter hospital stay.
- Quicker rehabilitation.
- Faster return to normal activities.
