HEMI-KNEE REPLACEMENT

Hemi-knee Replacement vs. Total Knee Replacement

Hemi-knee replacement gives natural and durable function.
The clinical outcomes are backed up with Oxford scores higher than Total Knee Replacement (TKR) - NZJR.
The surgeon needs to be more skilled than required for a TKR and appropriately trained.
​
Antero-medial arthritis of the knee is seen when the Anterior Cruciate Ligament is intact.
CAUSES:
  1. Previous Medial Meniscectomy
  2. Medial Plical Band caught under the infero-medial corner of the patella, resulting in isolated antero-medial wear by way of wear to the femur then tibia (author)
  3. Trauma to chondral surfaces
  4. Malalignment (varus), especially in the ligamentously lax
