Partial Knee Replacement at DRHC Dubai

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR), also known as Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace only the damaged or diseased part of the knee joint with an artificial implant. It is a less invasive alternative to total knee replacement for patients with arthritis or other conditions affecting only one part of the knee. At Dr. Rami Hamed Medical Center (DRHC) in Dubai, our expert orthopedic surgeons specialize in performing PKR procedures with precision and care.

What is Partial Knee Replacement?

Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) is a surgical procedure to replace only the damaged  part of the knee joint with an artificial implant. Unlike total knee replacement, which replaces the entire knee joint, PKR preserves the healthy parts of the knee. This makes PKR a less invasive option for patients with arthritis or other conditions affecting only one part of the knee.

How is Partial Knee Replacement Done?

The PKR procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia. Dr. Rami Hamed will make a small incision in the knee and remove the damaged or diseased part of the knee joint. The remaining healthy bone and tissue are prepared to receive the artificial implant, which is then inserted into the knee joint. The incision is closed with sutures or staples, and a bandage is applied to the knee. You will be given instructions for post-operative care and rehabilitation.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

After PKR, you will need to undergo a period of rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility in your knee. Dr. Rami Hamed will provide you with a personalized rehabilitation plan, which may include:

• Physical therapy exercises to improve knee strength and flexibility.
• Use of assistive devices, such as crutches or a walker, to aid in walking.
• Pain management techniques to control post-operative discomfort.
• Follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
