Unicondylar Knee Replacement (UKR)
Microplasty Precision Treatment for Targeted Knee Pain Half the Scar.
Not every knee needs a full replacement. If only one side of your knee is damaged—usually due to early or moderate arthritis—there’s a smarter, less invasive solution: Unicondylar Knee Replacement (UKR), also known as Microplasty.
With Dr. Abhishek Mehta’s advanced, muscle-sparing UKR technique, only the damaged half of your knee is replaced, while the healthy bone, cartilage, and all ligaments are preserved. The result? A faster recovery, smaller incision, and a knee that feels completely natural.
What is UKR / Microplasty?
UKR is a partial knee replacement procedure in which only the medial (inner) or lateral (outer) compartment of the knee joint—whichever is damaged—is resurfaced with a precision-fit implant.
Unlike total knee replacement, this approach retains your ACL, PCL, and surrounding soft tissues, allowing for better joint stability, natural movement, and superior function during daily and athletic activities.
Why Choose UKR with Dr. Mehta?
- No cutting of major muscles
- Less blood loss and surgical stress
- Ideal for elderly or high-risk patients
- Half the incision compared to total knee replacement
- Less tissue disruption = less pain and swelling
- Walk within hours of surgery
- Most patients resume normal activities in days, not weeks
- Many patients return to running, tennis, golf, and even hiking
- Natural joint feel encourages confident movement
- Implant survival of 15–20 years, even in active individuals
- Durable, lightweight materials ensure longevity and comfort
Perfect for Select Patients
UKR is especially beneficial for:
- Patients with arthritis in only one compartment of the knee
- Younger, active individuals wanting to stay mobile
- Older patients who may not tolerate major surgery
- Those seeking a quicker recovery with minimal physiotherapy
