I had a partial knee replacement and within 3 months I had to have a torn meniscus repaired on the same knee but the other side. All it did was make my knee bone on bone. So now I need a total knee replacement. The problem is since then I had to have a quadruple bypass (had no idea I had heart issues) now no one really wants to do another knee replacement and truthfully I am about done with surgeries. Get a total knee replacement so you don’t have to do it again. By the way I didn’t think a partial knee replacement was a piece of cake.
