“if you are overweight, the partial metal plate will squish right through the top of the bottom bone I was told.”
You was told wrong. The bone will actually be stronger because of all the extra weight it has been carrying – Wolff’s Law. The biggest risk in obese people is patellofemoral pain from a portion of the knee not treated by a unicompartmental arthroplasty
if you are overweight, the partial metal plate will squish right through the top of the bottom bone I was told.
BTW 70% of people (as stated by the MD in this video) are NOT candidates for parital knee replacements, not unless they will be happy to have additional surgery when they develop arthritis and pain in the remaining portions of the knee. IMO
