HALF/UNICONDYLAR KNEE REPLACEMENT

For younger patients under 60 with isolated compartment arthritis and intact ligaments, Dr. Manu Sharma’s signature half or unicondylar knee replacement retains 80–90% of the native knee. This simply addresses medial/lateral damage and removes 60% less bone than complete replacement using robotics or the minimally invasive “Zero Technique” for quick recovery and exercises like squatting.

Advanced MRI/CT imaging verifies eligibility, ruling out inflammatory or multi-compartment situations. Advantages include 95% 10-year survivorship, 0.5° alignment precision, natural proprioception, little dislocation risk, and simple conversion to total if necessary. His 20+ years result in fewer than 2% problems and NRS ratings above 9/10 in complicated situations like obesity or trauma. By extending the number of years without implants, this joint-preserving approach trains fellows and attracts medical tourists to Surat.
