A member asked:
Advanced articular cartilage loss in medial compartment of tibio-femoral and patella-femoral joints. would partial (unicondylar) knee replacement work?

Maybe: This decision is best made by your own orthopedist who has direct access to your x rays. A second opinion never hurts. In someone so young, if you can get away with something short of a total joint replacement, it is always preferable to do so.
