Yes: Knee osteotomy has three goals: to transfer weight from the arthritic part of the knee to a healthier area to correct poor knee alignment to prolong the life span of the knee joint knee osteotomy is used when you have early-stage osteoarthritis that has damaged just one side of the knee joint. By shifting your weight off of the damaged side of the joint. Check it out.

Partial knee : If your arthritis is limited to the medial compartment (the inner half of the knee joint), you may be a candidate for a partial knee replacement (uni-compartment knee). X-rays will help determine if this is the right choice for you. Robotic-assisted makoplasty partial knee replacement is an option for you.

MAKOplasty: I have performed over 560 makoplasty procedures and it is very very safe . It is superior to all other techniques for precise installation of partial knee replacements. When performed by an experienced makoplasty surgeon, it allows us to balance the tension of your ligaments within a millimeter and make the implants track centrally so they last decades. Mine all go home the same day, little pain.
