You have options: You are young for a total knee. If you have a post traumatic knee arthritis , you should find out if you have all three compartment arthritis or just one or two. This can put you into the partial knee replacement category and there are many advantages over total knee. If it is for inflammatory arthritis, the total knee is best. Most major company implants are good, great installation is key.
