If I decide to have a partial knee replacement, does that mean that I will no longer have arthritis of the knee?

Partial knee replacement will address the arthritis that is present in the particular compartment of the knee that is affected. However, there is no guarantee that arthritis will not develop elsewhere in the knee. Should this occur, surgical revision to a total knee replacement may be necessary.
