Partial Knee Replacement (Uni)


This section is intended to give you a little more detail about what your particular problem or injury looks like radiographically (by xray images).

The images on this page represents plain knee rays as well as images of knees undergoing arthroplasty or 'joint replacement' for Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD). Some images show what the knee looks like when it is cut open using minimally invasive surgery and some show when it is all set with the components implanted. As a knee specialist, Dr. Hyman doesn't promote any one device/implant over the other, but individualizes the implants he chooses to the patient's particular circumstances.
