Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (UKR)

This less invasive surgery replaces just one knee compartment. UKR options include:

• Lateral - replaces the outer knee compartment
• Patellofemoral - replaces the kneecap surface

Patellofemoral Arthroplasty (PFA)

This surgery replaces only the patellofemoral kneecap joint surface.
