Yes. I work in an Orthopedic office and many patients that have previously had partial knee replacements are candidates for a total knee replacement.

We can move our arms in circular motion but not our knees .why?
Moving our arms in a circular motion is possible due to the structure and range of motion of our shoulder joints. The knee joint, however, is a hinge joint designed primarily for flexion and extension, limiting its ability to move in a circular motion. The ligaments and tendons surrounding the knee joint also restrict its range of motion compared to the shoulder joint.
What is an active range of motion?
Active range of motion is when a joint is moved through its range with the person moving the joint him or herself. Passive range of motion is when something besides the muscles of the joint does the moving. So if I were to bend someone else's knee (and they didn't help) it would be passive range of motion. But if the person just moves his or her joint, then it is active.
