Dr.karnav Panchal is a specialist in knee, hip, shoulder and elbow related problems. After completing his M.S. in orthopedics at B.J. Medical College, one of the prestigious institutes in India, he has been trained in the fields of joint replacement surgeries and sports injuries at Mumbai and South Korea.
Not all knee problems require a full knee replacement. For patients with arthritis or damage limited to one part of the knee, Partial Knee Replacement offers a minimally invasive solution with faster recovery, less pain, and more natural movement.
Dr. Karnav Panchal, a renowned orthopedic and joint replacement surgeon in Ahmedabad, specializes in Microplasty, Unicondylar Knee Replacement, and Partial Knee Replacement — delivering precise, patient-specific treatment to help you return to a pain-free, active life.
Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) — also known as Unicondylar Knee Replacement — is a surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint (medial, lateral, or patellofemoral compartment), preserving healthy bone and ligaments.
This is ideal for patients whose knee arthritis is limited to a single compartment rather than the whole joint.
Microplasty: A minimally invasive surgical approach using smaller incisions and specialized instruments, often combined with robotic or computer-guided techniques for precision.
Unicondylar Knee Replacement: Refers to replacing only one condyle (compartment) of the knee — either medial (inner side) or lateral (outer side).
Partial Knee Replacement: The broader term covering unicondylar and patellofemoral replacements, preserving more of your natural knee structure.
All three approaches aim to reduce pain and restore mobility without replacing the entire knee.
You may be eligible if you have:
Isolated osteoarthritis in one knee compartment (medial/lateral/patellofemoral)
Stable knee ligaments (especially the ACL)
Good range of motion
Minimal knee deformity
No inflammatory arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
Dr. Karnav Panchal uses advanced diagnostics and imaging to determine if you’re a good candidate for this tissue-preserving procedure.
✅ Smaller Incision & Less Tissue Damage
✅ Faster Recovery Time
✅ Lower Blood Loss

Dr. Karnav Panchal has helped patients across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Vadodara, Surat, and beyond. Patients seeking faster recovery and less invasive options choose partial knee replacement as a preferred solution.
If arthritis is limited to one part of the knee, partial replacement preserves healthy tissue and offers quicker recovery with more natural function.
Modern implants can last 10–15 years or more with proper care and moderate activity levels.
Most patients begin walking the same day or next day, and resume normal activities within 3–6 weeks.
Microplasty is minimally invasive, meaning less post-op pain, smaller incisions, and a smoother recovery compared to traditional surgery.
