Knee
Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement
Bone-preserving option for isolated single-compartment knee arthritis.
Overview
Partial knee replacement resurfaces only the arthritic compartment of your knee, preserving healthy bone, cartilage and ligaments. It offers a more natural-feeling knee, faster recovery and smaller incision compared to a total replacement — when patient selection is done well.
When it's recommended
- Isolated medial or lateral compartment arthritis
- Intact cruciate ligaments
- Good range of motion
- Well-preserved other compartments
Key benefits
- More natural knee feel
- Faster recovery vs TKR
- Smaller incision
- Preserves healthy bone and ligaments
- Easier revision if needed later
Surgical approach
- Careful patient selection with MRI
- Robotic precision for tiny bone cuts
- Preserves ACL, PCL and other compartments
Recovery timeline
- Discharge in 1–2 days
- Faster return to daily activities
- Walking without support in 2–3 weeks

Patient stories
Patient stories — Knee
Real experiences from people who chose Dr. L. Tomar for their joint care.
“Ten years of grinding knee pain — gone. I walked with a walker the next morning and climbed stairs unaided in three weeks. My alignment feels natural.”
“I was told elsewhere I needed a full replacement. Dr. Tomar showed a partial was possible — the knee bends deeply and I'm back on my cycle.”
“Both knees the same day was a big decision, but rehab was structured and pain control excellent. I now climb temple steps without stopping.”
