Partial knee replacement: How was your experience?

Great point. And find a good surgeon. The best are usually in their mid 30s to mid 40s with a solid pedigree (med school, residency, or both), have done hundreds of not thousands of procedures, and who are up on current technology (robot assisted joint replacement).
I've had both knees replaced, with terrific results. Find a good surgeon and put in the required work in PT/therapy and all will likely be well.
And for those considering it, a PKR seems like a huge waste of time. I can't imagine insurance would deny a TKR in place of a PKR. Sorry for what you've been through starbright.

You are exactly correct! Find a good surgeon with a good track record of success. The one that I found to do the revision of the partial has doen over 12,000 and his reviews are stellar. Of course, we all know that reviews can be misleading and sometimes come from the organizations themselves. In my case, this surgeon wants home health care and PT and has already arranged that they see me at home.
