The Repicci II® Partial Knee System
Knee replacement usually involves resurfacing the damaged cartilage at the end of your thighbone (femur), the top of your
shinbone (tibia), and sometimes the back of your kneecap (patella).
When arthritis affects only one side of your knee joint, other parts may still be healthy. In this case, your surgeon may be
able to use the Repicci II® implant system, which resurfaces only the damaged section of cartilage, saving your healthy
cartilage. The implant can restore function to your knee, and relieve your pain, while possibly delaying or preventing your
need for a total knee replacement.

The Arthritis Foundation
For centuries men and women, young and old, have been affected by
a disease in which little was known except its symptoms. But in 1948,
a group of scientists and physicians came together to take action
against this condition called arthritis. Perhaps heartened by breakthroughs
in medicine, this community of scientists envisioned a day when a
cure for arthritis would be discovered and the millions of people
with arthritis would no longer suffer. Their actions resulted in the
formation of the Arthritis Foundation.
