I think it would depend on many factors, such as your age, physical condition and current level of activity and expectations for the future. It sounds like your own doctor feels that you are capable of having a good recovery from a partial. How is the wear on your other knee? Just wondering if it is genetic old age wear or perhaps from some earlier knee trauma on the one side. From what I have heard, most partials have to eventually be replaced by full TKR's so some surgeons may not want to bother with them. But if you are active and in good health and on the younger side of, say 70, a partial might be a good choice. See if you can talk though with each doctor their reasons for their recommendations. If you are uneasy, you may need a third opinion.
