Partial Knee Replacement: How is it Different?

If you've been told you need a knee replacement, you may have more options than you realize. Partial knee replacement, also called unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, targets only the damaged compartment of the knee rather than resurfacing the entire joint. For patients with arthritis confined to a single compartment and intact knee ligaments, this less invasive approach preserves the ACL, causes less tissue disruption, and results in a knee that patients consistently describe as feeling more natural than a total knee replacement. Recovery is significantly faster, with most patients returning to daily activities within three to four weeks compared to two to three months following total knee replacement. Advances in robotic-assisted surgical technology have expanded eligibility for this procedure, with current research suggesting that between 10% and 25% of knee replacement candidates may qualify. Dr. Cory Calendine, a robotic joint replacement specialist serving Nashville, Franklin, and the greater Middle Tennessee region, performs partial knee replacement with robotic precision to help eligible patients get back to the activities they love with less downtime and a more natural outcome. Learn how partial and total knee replacement differ and whether you might be a candidate.

Complete Guide to Clavicle Fracture Treatment

Clavicle fractures, commonly known as broken collarbones, are among the most frequent bone injuries I treat in my practice, affecting everyone from newborns to elderly adults. Most clavicle fractures heal well with proper treatment, which can range from simple sling immobilization for stable fractures to surgical repair for complex breaks. Understanding the different collarbone fracture types, treatment options, and recovery expectations can help you make informed decisions about your care and get back to your normal activities safely.

Activity After Joint Replacement

Advanced surgical techniques and pain control methods allow most joint replacement patients to begin ambulating and moving immediately after surgery with few limitations. Many hip and knee replacement patients return to normal daily activities within 4-6 weeks. Physical therapy and follow-up is customized for each patient's individual recovery journey.
