Knee Replacement is one of the most popular surgeries today to treat damaged knee joints. This surgery is essentially of two types; partial knee replacement and total knee replacement. Partial Knee Replacement is also known by various terms like unicondylar knee replacement, unicompartmental knee replacement, half knee replacement, PF knee replacement, and microplasty.
