I had a partial knee replacement in March. I did a partial because I was afraid of pain , weakness and immobility. I have bad arthritis in the other knee and was is natural in my left knee. My replacement is fine now and I am still afraid to proceed with the other knee. July 1995 you have given me a glimpse into a realistic success story.

@aileenredding
How does a partial knee replacement differ from a TKR? Do they removed just specific parts of the knee, I'd say only where there is bone on bone?
