Restoring Mobility with Precision Care
Partial Knee Replacement (also called unicompartmental knee replacement) is a modern surgical solution for patients with damage confined to just one part of the knee joint. At Clínica Bíblica Hospital, Costa Rica’s most trusted healthcare network, patients receive advanced surgical care combined with compassionate support — ensuring faster recovery, reduced pain, and restored quality of life.
🩺 What Is a Partial Knee Replacement?
A Partial Knee Replacement is a minimally invasive alternative to total knee replacement. Instead of replacing the entire joint, only the damaged portion of the knee (medial, lateral, or kneecap compartment) is resurfaced with metal and medical-grade plastic components. By preserving the healthy parts of the knee, this procedure allows for a more natural joint feel, quicker rehabilitation, and excellent long-term outcomes.
🩺 Types of Partial Knee Replacement
✔️ Medial Partial Knee Replacement – Targets arthritis or damage in the inner (medial) portion of the knee.
✔️ Lateral Partial Knee Replacement – Replaces only the outer (lateral) section of the knee joint.
✔️ Patellofemoral Replacement – Focuses on the kneecap and groove area when arthritis is localized there.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
Patients who benefit most from knee replacement typically suffer from:
✔️ Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
✔️ Chronic pain that limits daily activities
✔️ Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the knee
✔️ Knee deformity or trauma-related damage
✔️ Limited success with physical therapy, injections, or medications
🩺 Consultation & Preparation
Before undergoing partial knee replacement at Clínica Bíblica Hospital, patients undergo:
✔️ Comprehensive medical evaluation and imaging to confirm joint damage.
✔️ Review of medical history, lifestyle, and expectations.
✔️ Pre-surgery guidance on medication management and fasting requirements.
✔️ Lifestyle advice such as stopping smoking and controlling weight for best outcomes.
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery after a partial knee replacement is typically faster than total knee replacement. Patients can expect:
✔️ Hospital stay of 1–2 days with close monitoring.
✔️ Early mobilization within 24 hours to prevent stiffness.
✔️ Physical therapy to rebuild strength and improve range of motion.
✔️ Return to most normal activities within 4–6 weeks.
✔️ Long-term results with proper exercise, diet, and regular follow-up.
