If the osteoarthritis in your knee is limited to a single area, you may only need a partial knee replacement.

Your knee is divided into three compartments: the medial compartment (the inside part of the knee), the lateral compartment (the outside part), and the patellofemoral compartment (the front of the knee between the kneecap and thighbone).

With a partial knee replacement, only the damaged compartment is replaced with metal and plastic. The healthy cartilage and bone in the rest of the knee is left untouched.

The advantages of partial knee replacement over total knee replacement include:

Quicker recovery
Less pain after surgery
Less blood loss
May allow the knee to bend better

Dr. Johnson is the first orthopedic surgeon certified on the Mako Robotic-arm Assisted Surgery Technology in West Michigan. Mako is the latest advancement in compete and partial knee replacement surgery.
