What are the Advantages of Uni Knee Surgery For the Patient?
• Shorter hospital stay (1-2 days compared to 3-4 days in the hospital and 2 days in a rehab center) and shorter time under anesthetic (40 minutes as opposed to up to two hours for total knee replacement).
• Smaller incision (3-4 inches rather than 12-16 inches).
• Less pain and shorter recovery time. Knees repaired with the uni knee technology are weight bearing immediately after surgery. Rehab time is reduced to 6-8 weeks instead of the usual 6 months for total knee replacement.
• Uni knee recipients have a greater range of motion after surgery.
• The uni knee surgery replaces only the damaged part of the knee, thus preserving healthy bone.
• Precise instrumentation ensures accuracy of the cut of the bone.
• The procedures maintains the ligaments and at the same time corrects the deformity. The procedure also maintains the anterior cruciate ligament.
