Partial Knee Resurfacing
Partial knee resurfacing is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged parts of the knee joint, preserving healthy bone and tissue. This procedure is ideal for patients with early-stage osteoarthritis or damage limited to one part of the knee. By targeting only the affected areas, partial knee resurfacing can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery compared to total knee replacement. At Revere Health, our specialists provide expert care in knee resurfacing to help patients return to their daily activities with minimal trauma to healthy tissue.
How Partial Knee Resurfacing Works
Targeted Replacement: Instead of replacing the entire knee joint, only the damaged cartilage and bone in the affected area are resurfaced and replaced with implants.
Preserving Healthy Tissue: The procedure spares the healthy parts of the knee, reducing the overall impact on the joint and maintaining as much of the original structure as possible.
Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissues result in quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain.
Benefits of Partial Knee Resurfacing
Faster Recovery: Patients often experience shorter recovery times and can return to normal activities sooner than with a total knee replacement.
Less Pain: With fewer tissues disrupted during surgery, patients generally experience less postoperative pain.
Preserves Natural Movement: By maintaining more of the original bone and tissue, the procedure helps preserve the natural feel and movement of the knee.
Smaller Incisions: The minimally invasive approach leaves smaller scars and less damage to the surrounding muscles and ligaments.
Conditions Treated by Partial Knee Resurfacing
Osteoarthritis: Early-stage arthritis limited to one area of the knee can often be treated with partial knee resurfacing.
Cartilage Damage: Localized damage to the cartilage can be repaired without needing a full knee replacement.
