Total knee replacement (TKR): This surgery replaces both sides of the knee joint. It is the most commonly used method. The operation lasts between 1 and 3 hours.
Partial knee replacement (PKR): This procedure replaces only one side of the knee joint.
The incision is smaller since less bone is removed, but it does not last as long as a total replacement. PKR is appropriate for patients who have only one area of their knee damaged.
