Total Hip Replacement - Hip Surgery at HSS Stamford | Dr. Kahlenberg

PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

Specialized care for patients whose arthritis affects only one part of the knee and want a more targeted solution

Is partial knee replacement right for you?

Partial knee replacement may be considered when arthritis is limited to one compartment of the knee and symptoms have not improved with non-surgical care.

  • Pain limited to one side of the knee

  • Preserved healthy tissue in the rest of the knee

  • Desire for a more targeted surgical option

  • Ongoing symptoms despite treatment

What partial knee replacement involves:

Partial knee replacement resurfaces only the damaged part of the knee while preserving healthy bone and ligaments. For the right patient, this can mean a more natural-feeling knee and a quicker recovery than total knee replacement.

  • Smaller surgical footprint

  • Preserves healthy parts of the knee

  • May support faster recovery in the right candidate

Why patients choose this practice:

Because partial knee replacement is not right for every patient, careful evaluation is essential. Dr. Kahlenberg helps determine whether a partial or total knee replacement is the better fit for your anatomy, symptoms, and goals.

  • Dedicated hip and knee replacement practice

  • Extensive experience with modern partial knee replacement techniques including robotics 

  • Care centered on function and recovery

  • Most major commercial insurance plans accepted

What is recovery like?

Recovery varies, but many patients want to know when they can walk, drive, work, travel, and exercise again. Your recovery plan will be reviewed with you in detail so you know what to expect before surgery.
​

  • How do I know if I am a candidate?

    • At your consultation, Dr. Kahlenberg will carefully review your xrays and symptoms to recommend the best treatment​​

  • When can I return to work?

    • For a desk job, most patients return within 2-4 weeks.  For more active jobs, we will discuss on an individual basis​

  • ​​Can robotic assistance be used?

    • Yes, Dr. Kahlenberg utilizes robotics for all partial knee replacements​
