Partial and Total Knee Replacements: Expert Solutions for Knee Pain

Are you struggling with knee pain that limits your mobility and quality of life?

Whether your knee discomfort stems from arthritis or injury, knee replacement surgery could be the long-term solution you’ve been seeking. At Northampton Hip and Knee Clinic, we offer both partial and total knee replacement options, tailored to meet your individual needs.

 

What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

Knee replacement surgery is a highly effective treatment for patients suffering from severe arthritis or knee damage. The procedure involves replacing worn-out or damaged parts of the knee joint with artificial components to restore function, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
There are two types of knee replacement surgeries offered:

  • Partial Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental): Ideal for patients where only one section of the knee is affected by arthritis.
  • Total Knee Replacement: A solution for patients with widespread damage across the knee joint.

Partial Knee Replacement: A Targeted Solution

Partial Knee Replacement is a minimally invasive surgery aimed at patients with damage confined to one part of the knee. By preserving healthy bone and tissue, this approach can often result in a quicker recovery and more natural joint function compared to total knee replacement.

Benefits of Partial Knee Replacement

  1. Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves a smaller incision, reducing scarring and leading to faster recovery times.
  2. Bone Preservation: Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced, leaving much of your natural knee structure intact.
  3. Faster Recovery: Many patients experience shorter hospital stays and quicker returns to normal activities compared to those who undergo total knee replacement.
  4. Natural Joint Movement: Partial knee replacement allows for a more natural feel in the joint and improved range of motion post-surgery.

Total Knee Replacement: A Comprehensive Solution for Knee Arthritis

For patients with advanced arthritis affecting multiple parts of the knee, a Total Knee Replacement may be necessary. This procedure involves removing the entire damaged joint and replacing it with a highly durable prosthesis. At Northampton Hip and Knee Clinic, we utilise the latest technologies, including computer-navigated surgery, to ensure precision and better alignment, resulting in long-lasting outcomes.

Benefits of Total Knee Replacement

    Pain Relief: Total knee replacement can alleviate chronic pain, providing long-term relief.

    Durable Implants: Modern knee prostheses are designed to last 15–20 years or longer, ensuring long-term results.

    Improved Mobility: After recovery, most patients regain significant mobility, enabling them to return to daily activities, including exercise.

    Precision and Customisation: Our advanced imaging and navigation techniques help us create a precise fitted knee implant that aligns with your anatomy, leading to better function and longevity.

Which Option is Right for You?

Choosing between partial and total knee replacement depends on factors like the severity and location of your knee damage. If only one compartment of your knee is affected, partial knee replacement may offer a more conservative and quicker solution. For more widespread damage, total knee replacement provides comprehensive pain relief and improved function.
