Should you be getting a total or a partial knee replacement surgery?

It really depends on how bad your knee arthritis is AND whether your surgeon is trained in doing both. Partial knee replacement surgery is not done by all knee surgeons since it is an advanced surgery.

Most knee surgeons are well trained in doing total knee replacements as it is the most common type of knee replacement surgery.

But if it's right for your situation, you may benefit from having a partial knee replacement.

In this video, Dr. David explains the difference between a partial knee replacement and a total knee replacement.

Keep in mind that there is nearly always a root muscle imbalance that is not identified by surgeons or physical therapists. This muscle imbalance can be corrected without knee surgery and it may allow you to avoid having a total or partial knee replacement. Dr. David shares extensively about this on this channel.
