Why do you have to have a knee replacement? We can't help you if you don't tell us what the cause of the problem is. There may be options for you, especially if the reason for knee replacement is pain (due to arthritis, etc).
During a partial knee replacement you can see less of the knee, so aligning the implant is more difficult, if this is wrong, it will cause bigger problems. Also the remaining condyle can then deteriorate (naturally), needing a full replacement,
It did with me. I think it was caused by the femoral nerve block
The attune knee replacement is the newest innovated, type of knee replacement. The attune knee replacement is so good that is provides more mobility and it eases the unstable feeling most all patients have with any other type of knee replacement.
It's a question of pain, if you can take the pain of the metal digging into you ligament then yes. sometimes, kneeling is impossible due to where the knee replacement is and you cannot bend you leg properly.
