From what I understand Dr Nguyen is not a big fan of Partial replacements...reason is for many clients they are unhappy with results and require another procedure for the full replacement. Every case is different, but I think Dr Nguyen would more likely recommend delaying anything rather than take a chance of performing 2 operations on the same knee..subjecting yourself to additional recovery time but moreso the biggest enemy of any operation..infections.
Again I am not saying a Partial knee replacement is not the answer for some people...its just not something that Nguyen will promise you in an office discussion and then what happens during many operations is the Surgeon had to do a full knee replacement.
