Dr. Beck performs Oxford Partial Knee Replacements. "The Oxford Uni-compartmental Knee system can be an alternative to total knee joint replacement surgery," Dr. Beck said.
This procedure is less invasive than a full knee replacement. Removing 75% less bone and cartilage allows for a more rapide recovery. Unlike total knee replacement, involving removal of all the knee joint surfaces, this partial knee replacement replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint.

"Orthopedics is a medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries and diseases of your body's musculoskeletal system. This complex system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves, and allows you to move, work and be active.
