Partial Knee Replacement Surgery in Delhi by Dr. Amit Kumar Srivastava

If knee pain causes problems with your daily activities, Dr. Amit Kumar Srivastava partial knee replacement surgery in Delhi offers a precise, minimally invasive option that saves your original knee. Unlike total knee replacement, this breakthrough surgery concentrates on the problematic area of the joint, allowing you to recover faster, have less pain, and return to normal activities sooner.

Whether you have early-stage arthritis or localised knee damage, this method can greatly improve your long-term mobility and quality of life.

Partial knee replacement (unicompartmental knee replacement) is a surgical procedure where only the damaged compartment of the knee is replaced with an implant, while healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments are preserved.

The knee has three compartments:

• Medial (inner)
• Lateral (outer)
• Patellofemoral (front)

If arthritis affects only one of these, partial knee replacement in Delhi is often a better option than replacing the entire joint.

You may be an ideal candidate if you have:

• Knee pain localized to one side of the knee
• Early to moderate osteoarthritis
• Intact ligaments (especially ACL)
• Good range of motion
• Failure of non-surgical treatments (medications, physiotherapy, injections)

You may NOT be suitable if:

• Arthritis affects the entire knee
• Severe deformity or instability is present
• Inflammatory arthritis (like rheumatoid arthritis)

A proper clinical and radiological evaluation is essential to decide suitability.

Why choose partial over total knee replacement?

• Smaller incision (minimally invasive knee surgery in Delhi)
• Less blood loss
• Faster recovery
• More natural knee movement
• Better preservation of bone and ligaments
• Shorter hospital stay
• Lower risk of complications

However, it’s not for everyone. The key is correct patient selection.

• Surgery is performed under spinal or general anesthesia
• A small incision is made over the knee
• Only the damaged cartilage and bone are removed
• A high-precision implant is placed in the affected compartment
• Surrounding healthy structures are preserved

The procedure typically takes 1–1.5 hours and is highly precise when performed by an experienced surgeon.
