Partial Knee Replacement
There are three compartments in a knee joint: a medial and lateral compartment between the ends of the femur (thigh) and tibia (shin) bones and the third compartment behind your kneecap. If only one of the compartments in your knee joint is affected by arthritis, it is possible that a total joint specialist can resurface in just that one compartment, leaving the other two healthy compartments alone. If that's the case, you may be a candidate for a partial knee replacement.
