Default Partial Knee Replacemt Surgery?

Has anyone had a "Partial" Knee Replacement surgery recently in T.V.? If so, what are your outcomes?

I'm considering a Partial (PKR), as opposed to the much more invasive Total Knee Replacement (TKR).

Any input or recommendation would be very appreciated.

I had a full on one knee and a partial on the other. Both knees are performing well. With both surgery's , I was playing golf in 2 months and softball in 3. I used Dr. Karina at UNOVA on Rolling Acres Road. PM me if you want more info.

If you have osteoarthritis in the medial compartment only a uni (uni-compartmental , sometimes referred to as a partial) is the way to go. down the road, if you develop arthritis in the lateral compartment the uni can fairly easily be converted to a total knee arthroplasty.
