Soalan Lazim (FAQ)Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Partial = ganti 1 compartment sahaja (medial atau lateral). Sesuai kalau OA terhad pada 1 sisi. Recovery lebih cepat, range of motion lebih baik. Tetapi 10% perlu convert ke TKR dalam 10 tahun.Partial = replace 1 compartment only (medial or lateral). Suits OA limited to 1 side. Faster recovery, better range.
