Partial knee resurfacing (PKR) is a surgical procedure for helping to relieve arthritis in one compartment of the knee. With PKR, only the damaged surface of the knee joint is replaced, helping to minimize trauma to healthy bone and tissue.

Over the past 25 years, minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized many fields of medicine. Its key characteristic is the use of specialized techniques and instrumentation that enable the physician to perform major surgery without a large incision. In this respect, MIS Knee Joint Replacement is indeed “minimally invasive,” requiring only a small incision and potentially causing less trauma to the soft tissues.

Stryker knee replacements are designed to work with your body, not against it, to produce easier motion 1,2 and easier, faster recovery after surgery. 3,4 Stryker engineers have studied the complexities of knee biomechanics and movement to create an implant that is designed to work more like a healthy knee.
