A member asked:
I have read that you can have more problems after a partial knee replacement than having a full replacement. what are your opinions on this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any surgical procedure can have complications. The questions to ask your doctor are how long will a partial replacement last, e.g. what is the likelihood you will need a complete knee replacement in the future. You will also ask why you are a candidate for a partial. For some people a shorter procedure may be beneficial depending on their other illnesses.
