About Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
Older and less active patients who have severe unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (affecting only one compartment or half the joint) may be suitable for unicompartmental or half knee replacement, as an alternative to total or full knee replacement. In this surgery, because only half of the knee is replaced, all the original ligaments are left intact (ACL & PCL, which are otherwise removed during total knee replacement). This allows almost full knee bending after the surgery, and quicker recovery as compared with total knee replacement
Knee Treatments
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy: Arthroscopy, or Minimally Invasive “keyhole” surgery, allows the surgeon to look into the knee joint
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is an important ligament which holds together the thigh bone
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction
Similar to ACL, the PCL is a strong and important ligament holding the bones in the knee together.
Meniscus Surgery
Meniscus is a special cartilage cushion, present only in the knee, which helps in uniform load distribution in the joint. This can tear during any minor or major twisting injury to the knee
Articular Cartilage Repair
Articular cartilage is the smooth slippery layer covering the portion of bones inside the joint. Localised defects of this cartilage can be repaired by arthroscopic techniques
Medial & Lateral Ligament Reconstruction
Peripheral ligaments of the knee are often damaged either singly, or in combination with other ligaments during knee injuries.
Arthroscopic Arthrolysis
Stiffness or restricted movements in the knee can occur after injury, after surgery, or due to arthritis or congenital conditions.
Multi Ligament Reconstruction
Multiple ligaments of the knee are damaged in cases of knee dislocation. The ACL, PCL, MCL, and PLC are the four main ligamentous structures
Dislocating Patella (Knee-cap) Surgery
The Knee-cap (Patella) can dislocate during an injury, particularly in children and adolescents. In 50% of cases
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) : This is a joint conserving surgery for young and active people with unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis
Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
Older and less active patients who have severe unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (affecting only one compartment or half the joint)
Total Knee Replacement
Rough and damaged cartilage surfaces in cases of knee arthritis are replaced with smooth artificial components, while most of the original knee ligaments are left intact.
