Unicondylar / Partial Knee Replacement Surgeon in Mumbai
Targeted Knee Surgery for Faster Recovery & Natural Movement
Partial Knee Replacement Surgeon for Single Compartment Knee Arthritis
Looking for a Partial Knee Replacement Surgeon in Mumbai? If you have knee pain limited to one part of your knee, you may not need a full knee replacement. Dr. Sanjeev Jain is an experienced Partial Knee Replacement Surgeon in Mumbai, with over 35 years of expertise in advanced joint replacement surgery. He offers minimally invasive unicondylar knee replacement procedures that preserve healthy bone and ligaments while helping patients achieve faster recovery and more natural knee movement.
What is Unicondylar / Partial Knee Replacement?
Partial Knee Replacement (also known as Unicondylar or Unicompartmental Knee Replacement) is a minimally invasive surgery that replaces only the damaged compartment of the knee — leaving the healthy parts completely untouched.
Unlike total knee replacement, this procedure preserves your natural bone, ligaments, and cartilage resulting in a more natural feeling knee, smaller incision, less pain, and faster recovery.
The knee has 3 compartments:
Medial (inner side)
Lateral (outer side)
Patellofemoral (front — between kneecap & thighbone)
If arthritis is confined to just one of these compartments, Unicondylar / Partial Knee Replacement is the ideal solution.
Do You Need a Unicondylar / Partial Knee Replacement?
You may be a candidate for this surgery if you are experiencing:
Knee pain limited to one side of the knee
Single compartment arthritis confirmed by X-ray or MRI
Knee stiffness affecting daily activities like walking or climbing stairs
Failed conservative treatments — medications, injections, physiotherapy
Intact knee ligaments (especially ACL)
No severe deformity of the knee joint
Persistent pain despite medications, injections, or physiotherapy
