For Patients & Their Families

Arthritis of the knee often results in severe pain, loss of function, reduction in quality of life and even depression. Orthopedic surgeons have worked tirelessly to design new and improved materials, implants and procedures that will offer patients a solution to their painful arthritis and improve their quality of life.

The JOURNEY UNI minimally invasive uni-compartmental knee replacement is a procedure that provides patients with a minimally invasive solution for arthritis of the knee. This procedure, which replaces only the damaged area of your knee joint, may result in dramatically less recovery time when compared with total knee replacement surgery.

Since the surgeon replaces only the parts of the knee that are damaged or diseased, the JOURNEY UNI preserves your healthy tissue and bone.
