Partial vs Total Knee Replacement

Knee replacements are among the most common orthopaedic procedures, often recommended for patients with advanced arthritis or significant joint damage. However, not all knee replacements are the same. Depending on the extent and location of the damage, your surgeon may recommend either a total knee replacement (TKR) or a partial knee replacement (PKR). Understanding the difference between these two options is an important step in making an informed decision about your care.
