We waited until we were in NH for my husbands surgery. We did our research and found an excellent surgeon who does partial replacements with excellent results. Insist on looking at your X-ray. You can see clearly where the cartilage is healthy and where it is not. Obviously you must qualify secondary to the health of the knee. My husband is 3 weeks post partial knee replacement. He is off pain meds, walking with only some stiffness and driving. He had a total replacement 12 years ago and the partial is much less invasive. His recovery has been remarkable but he is motivated to get back to our home in TV and on the golf course.
Good luck!!
