🌟 Half Knee Replacement Restores Pain-Free Mobility! 🌟 At Eternal Orthopaedic, we recently performed a successful Half Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental Knee Replacement) for a 55-year-old female patient suffering from severe arthritis affecting only one compartment of the knee. The attached pre-operative and post-operative X-rays demonstrate the excellent correction achieved through this advanced procedure. The surgery was performed by Dr. Lokesh Garg, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. Unlike Total Knee Replacement, Half Knee Replacement is suitable for selected patients where arthritis is confined to only one part of the knee. Since only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced, the healthy bone, cartilage, and important ligaments are preserved. Benefits of Half Knee Replacement include: ✅ Smaller incision ✅ Ligament Preservation ✅ Natural knee movement and feel ✅ Reduced post-operative pain ✅ Shorter hospital stay, faster recovery ✅ Better ability to squat, climb stairs, and perform routine movements compared with many total knee replacement patients Many patients describe the operated knee as feeling more “natural” because the normal ligaments continue to function, helping maintain natural knee kinematics. Proper patient selection is the key to achieving excellent long-term outcomes. If knee pain is limiting your daily activities, consultation with a knee specialist can help determine whether a Half Knee Replacement or Total Knee Replacement is the right Jun 12, 2026
