Oxford® Partial Knee Replacements
The most common reason Dr. Wainer recommends knee joint replacement for his patients
is to relieve severe arthritis pain. Dr. Wainer may recommend knee joint replacement if you
have:
•
Symptoms of knee arthritis, including knee pain that keeps you up at night or prevents
you from doing daily activities
•
Knee pain that continues despite other treatments
OXFORD® PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENTS
The goal of total knee replacement surgery (also called "arthroplasty") is to decrease pain
and restore function. For some patients, however, the osteoarthritis is limited to just one
part of the knee. These patients may be candidates for a partial knee replacement (also
called unicompartmental knee replacement). Dr. Wainer is one of the few surgeons in the
Piedmont Triad area performing Oxford® Partial Knee Replacement surgery. In a partial
knee replacement,
Dr. Wainer only replaces the damaged compartment of the knee with man-made materials.
The healthy cartilage and bone in the rest of the knee is left alone. For patients that qualify
for partial knee replacement, there are several advantages over total knee replacement
surgery. These include:
•
A quicker recovery
•
Less pain after surgery
•
Less blood loss
Also, because the healthy parts of the knee remain intact, patients often report that the partial knee replacement feels more "natural" than a total
knee replacement. A partial knee may also have better range of motion and bend better.
Patients should keep in mind that with a partial knee replacement it is possible that future surgeries would be necessary should the healthy part of
the knee later develop osteoarthritis. After examining your knee and studying your individual case, Dr. Wainer can let you know if you are a
potential candidate for an Oxford® Partial Knee Replacement
