Benefits

Optimal Usage

Research shows that surgeons utilizing Partial Knee Arthroplasty (PKA) for at least 20% of their annual knee arthroplasties experienced a significant decrease in their revision rate.¹⁰

Other benefits of PKA vs TKA include:

Retention of the ACL, which is reported to result in improved proprioception^11,12
Better range of motion^13,14
Procedural savings¹⁵
Shorter hospital stays¹⁶
Lower risk of postoperative complications¹⁷
