Partial knee replacement
Half a knee, when half is all that is worn
For many patients, only one compartment of their knee is worn. Replacing only that part of the knee keeps your normal ligaments, the natural feel of your knee, gets you back in the game in weeks rather than months. Ask us if a partial knee replacement would work for you!
Been told you need a full knee replacement? A partial may still be on the table — send us your X-rays.

If that is you, nothing is lost. Read about how we do total knee replacement — more than 1,500 a year, muscle-sparing, and robotically planned.
Partial and total, side by side
Both are good operations. They are simply answers to different knees. This is the comparison we draw on paper in clinic.

Excellence with or without the robot
Our programme is anchored on two operations: the mobile-bearing Oxford partial, done conventionally, and the fixed-bearing robotic partial. We use two robotic platforms for the robotic cases. Ask us more in the clinic about how we choose between them.

The six weeks after
The recovery is the reason most patients want a partial. It is genuinely quicker — but it is still knee surgery, and the first week asks something of you.

What it will cost
Cashless with every major insurer, and with the corporate health schemes we are empanelled with. Our team files your pre-authorisation, chases it, and gives you a written estimate before you are admitted.

Once we receive this form, we will ask for your X-rays on WhatsApp. A clear photo of the film held up against a window or a bright screen is fine.
