Partial Knee Arthroplasty (Replacement) is a highly successful surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and improve function for patients with end-stage knee arthritis localized to one of the three compartments of the knee. It involves removing the worn bearing surfaces of the knee and replacing them with metal and plastic components that allow for smooth motion. When non-operative treatments for arthritis such as weight-loss, pain medications, injections, and low-impact exercise have failed, Dr. Hajnik may recommend this surgery.
