I'm tagging fellow members who have had a partial knee replacement (PKR) like @kneeproblem @l2consulting @starbright21 @tchandek @pkrjuly102023 @cm19 to share with you.

Partial vs. Total Knee Replacement Surgery https://www.verywellhealth.com/total-partial-knee-replacement-2552271
It sounds like PKR was recommended in your situation because of the favorable lateral compartment (outside of the knee). How is the patellofemoral compartment (in front of the knee)? Is your surgeon experienced in working with partial knee replacements?

I had my partial knee replacement on 16 may 2023. At the start everything appeared fine and I told the surgeon on one visit that the knee was "sore." He replied that I had just had surgery.
Then a bit later I started having inflamation, pain and swelling and returned to the surgeon and he aspirated some fluid from the knee and sent it to the lab for culture but nothing definitive was noted. He then ordered an MRI and it reflected inflammation and said that the only thing that would "fix it is a total knee replacement."
I am going for a second opinion to a different surgeon this Tues (28 Nov) and see what he recommends. I now have aching, a "click" of the ligament behind the knee when arising from a sitting position to standing with pain, can't do yardwork, knee aches and hurts and overall, I am not at all pleased with the outcome of the Oxford procedure.
