Targeted Knee Surgery for Faster Recovery and Natural Movement

Unicondylar / Partial Knee Replacement is an advanced surgical option for patients with knee arthritis limited to a single compartment of the knee. Unlike total knee replacement, this procedure replaces only the damaged portion of the knee, preserving healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments.
