Knee replacement surgery is not one-size-fits-all. Based on your condition, age, activity level, and X-ray findings, your orthopedic surgeon will decide whether you need a partial or total knee replacement.

✅ Partial Knee Replacement
• Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced

• Suitable if arthritis is limited to one side of the joint

• Less bone is removed

• Smaller incision, faster recovery

• Feels more natural for some patients



✅ Total Knee Replacement

• Entire knee joint is replaced

• Recommended if arthritis affects all three compartments

• Better for patients with severe pain or deformity

• Long term relief and stability

• May have longer recovery but more comprehensive outcome
