Procedures & Services: MIS Partial Knee Resurfacing (PKR)

Partial Knee Resurfacing (PKR) is a minimally invasive procedure for specific and limited arthritic conditions. In this procedure only the damaged surface of the knee joint is resurfaced, potentially minimizing trauma to healthy bone and tissue. Because the PKR implants are so much smaller than total knee implants, the surgical incision can be smaller as well lesson the extent of the surgery.
