Dr. Richard Cunningham, M.D. of Vail Summit Orthopaedics explains and performs Partial Knee Replacement.
Dr. Cunningham has many patients who have skied the bumps and steeps at Vail for many years. This can take a toll on one's knees. Many patients develop severe osteoarthritis in their knees and can no longer ski or do many of the activities that they enjoy. However, Dr. Cunningham is a board-certified and fellowship-trained knee and shoulder surgery specialist who offers the most advanced treatment options that get people back to the activities they enjoy.
As a partner of Vail Summit Orthopaedics, Dr. Cunningham cares for many local patients living in Eagle and Summit Counties, Colorado (which includes the towns of Frisco, Breckenridge, Silverthorne, Dillon, Vail, Avon, Edwards, Eagle, and Gypsum). In addition he has many patients from Denver and the front range, as well as patients from around the country and world.
Unicompartmental knee replacement is an option for a small percentage of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Your doctor may recommend partial knee replacement if your arthritis is confined to a single part (compartment) of your knee.
Your knee is divided into three major compartments: The medial compartment (the inside part of the knee), the lateral compartment (the outside part), and the patellofemoral compartment (the front of the knee between the kneecap and thighbone).
In a unicompartmental knee replacement, only the damaged compartment is replaced with metal and plastic. The healthy cartilage and bone in the rest of the knee is left alone.
