Total Knee Replacement: It is a surgical procedure also known as a primary knee replacement. In this process, your entire knee joint is replaced. The cartilage and the bone that damaged in the knee joint is replaced to provide relief from pain completely and also helps to regain the smooth functioning of the joint.

Partial knee replacement: It is a surgical procedure also called unicompartmental knee replacement(UKR). In this procedure, only the damaged part of the cartilage and bone in the knee joint is repaired with plastic or metal prosthesis. PKR is not as complex as a total knee replacement because it preserves the natural bones during the procedure.
