If you've been told you need a knee replacement, you may have more options than you realize. Partial knee replacement, also called unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, targets only the damaged compartment of the knee rather than resurfacing the entire joint. For patients with arthritis confined to a single compartment and intact knee ligaments, this less invasive approach preserves the ACL, causes less tissue disruption, and results in a knee that patients consistently describe as feeling more natural than a total knee replacement. Recovery is significantly faster, with most patients returning to daily activities within three to four weeks compared to two to three months following total knee replacement. Advances in robotic-assisted surgical technology have expanded eligibility for this procedure, with current research suggesting that between 10% and 25% of knee replacement candidates may qualify. Dr. Cory Calendine, a robotic joint replacement specialist serving Nashville, Franklin, and the greater Middle Tennessee region, performs partial knee replacement with robotic precision to help eligible patients get back to the activities they love with less downtime and a more natural outcome. Learn how partial and total knee replacement differ and whether you might be a candidate.

Knee balancing is one of the most important steps during total knee replacement surgery, and it directly affects how stable and natural your knee feels after recovery. During Mako robotic knee replacement, your surgeon uses 3D CT-based planning and real-time intraoperative data to measure soft tissue tension and ligament balance with sub-millimeter precision. Research shows that traditional manual techniques achieve a balanced knee in only about 50% of cases, while robotic-assisted methods combined with sensor feedback can reach up to 87%. Dr. Cory Calendine, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint replacement in the Nashville, TN area, explains what knee balancing means for patients, how the Mako system achieves better soft tissue balance, and why it matters for your long-term outcome after knee replacement surgery.
