Preoperative Evaluation: Patients undergo a thorough assessment to determine the extent of knee arthritis and whether they are suitable candidates for unicondylar knee replacement.

Surgical Technique: During the procedure, the surgeon makes a smaller incision compared to total knee replacement and removes only the damaged portion of the knee joint, including the affected compartment of the femur and tibia. The damaged cartilage and bone are replaced with prosthetic components, which may be cemented or press-fit into place.

Preservation of Healthy Tissue: One of the key advantages of unicondylar knee replacement is the preservation of healthy bone and ligaments in the knee joint. This can lead to a faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and improved knee function compared to total knee replacement.

Recovery: After surgery, patients typically undergo a shorter hospital stay and may experience a quicker recovery compared to total knee replacement. Physical therapy is essential to regain strength, mobility, and function in the knee joint.
