What Is Partial Knee Replacement?

Unlock Freedom of Movement with Partial Knee Replacement Surgery with Dr. Feras Ashouri

Partial knee replacement, also referred to as partial knee resurfacing or unicondylar knee arthroplasty, provides a precise surgical option for patients suffering from unicompartmental knee arthritis. Dr. Feras Ashouri specializes in this innovative procedure, focusing on restoring your knee’s function while preserving ligaments and healthy cartilage.

Are You a Candidate for Partial Knee Resurfacing?

Ideal candidates for partial knee replacement typically have arthritis confined to a single knee compartment and generally maintain a healthy weight. This procedure may not be suitable for individuals with significant knee stiffness or angular deformities. Intact knee ligaments are usually necessary for a successful outcome. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are typically not considered for partial knee solutions, as this type of arthritis usually affects the entire joint.

The Expertise Behind Partial Knee Surgery with Dr. Feras Ashouri

During the partial knee replacement procedure, Dr. Feras Ashouri perform a precise operation to access the affected knee compartment through a small incision. They gently reposition knee support structures to expose the arthritic area, carefully removing damaged cartilage and bone tissue from the surfaces of the tibia and femur. Pre-operative CT scanning with 3-D templating and robotic-assisted technology ensure the highest accuracy. Cement is used to securely anchor these components, restoring all surrounding structures and tissues to their natural position before closing the incision.

Recovery from Partial Knee Replacement Surgery

After undergoing partial knee replacement with Dr. Feras Ashouri, most patients typically stay in the hospital for one to two nights. Many are able to walk with assistance or independently on the same day as their surgery. Within a week, patients are often provided with a cane to enhance their independence and begin outpatient rehabilitation.
