If you suffer from painful arthritis localised to only one part of your knee, a Robotic Assisted Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) may be an ideal solution. This advanced procedure, utilising Mako Robotic technology, allows Mr. Raman Sethi to precisely replace only the damaged portion of your knee joint, preserving healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments. Partial knee replacement offers a unique opportunity for targeted pain relief and faster recovery, all performed with the enhanced accuracy that robotic assistance provides.
Choosing a robotic-assisted partial knee replacement can offer several advantages for suitable candidates:
Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced, preserving your healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments.
Often involves a shorter hospital stay, less post- operative pain, and a quicker return to activities compared to total knee replacement.
Patients often report that a partial knee replacement feels more like their natural knee because most of the original joint is retained.
The Mako Robotic System allows for highly accurate implant positioning, crucial for optimising outcomes and longevity.
Generally associated with less blood loss than a total knee replacement.

Partial knee replacement is suitable for a specific group of patients. You may be a candidate if:
Mr. Sethi will conduct a thorough examination and review of your imaging (X-rays, MRI) to determine if Robotic Assisted Partial Knee Replacement is the right treatment option for your knee pain.
Robotic Assisted Partial Knee Replacement, also known as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where only the diseased or damaged compartment (inner, outer, or kneecap area) of the knee is replaced with an implant. Unlike a total knee replacement, it leaves the healthy parts of your knee untouched.
Using the Mako Robotic System, the surgeon precisely plans and executes the placement of the smaller, customised implant. The robotic arm assists in preparing the bone and positioning the components with extreme accuracy, ensuring optimal alignment and fit for your specific anatomy.
Recovery from Robotic Assisted Partial Knee Replacement is typically quicker than from a total knee replacement.
Mr. Sethi and his team will provide you with a tailored recovery plan to ensure a smooth and effective rehabilitation.
Mr. Sethi has specialised expertise in partial knee replacement, understanding the specific criteria and surgical nuances for this precise procedure.
He leverages the advanced Mako Robotic technology to ensure highly accurate implant sizing and placement, which is paramount for the success and natural feel of a partial knee.
His approach prioritises preserving healthy knee tissue, offering you a less invasive solution when appropriate, and aiming for a more natural joint function.
With the precision of robotic assistance and a dedicated rehabilitation focus, Mr. Sethi aims to facilitate a quicker and smoother return to your desired activities.
Partial knee replacement only replaces the worn-out part of the knee, preserving the healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments. Total knee replacement replaces all three compartments of the knee.
Ideal candidates have arthritis confined to just one compartment of their knee, relatively intact ligaments (especially the ACL), and good overall knee range of motion.
Generally, yes. Because it’s a less invasive procedure than a total knee replacement, patients often experience less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker return to daily activities and full function.
Many patients report that a partial knee replacement feels more natural than a total knee replacement, as most of the original joint components are preserved.
With modern techniques and implants, partial knee replacements can last for many years, often comparable to total knee replacements in appropriate patients. However, if arthritis progresses to other compartments, a revision to a total knee replacement may eventually be necessary.
If your knee pain is localised to one area, explore the benefits of Robotic Assisted Partial Knee Replacement. Schedule a Consultation with Mr. Raman Sethi.
